1. **B. Political issues**<br /><br />Ethiopia has boycotted Olympic Games in the past primarily due to political disputes. For example, Ethiopia participated in the boycott of the 1976 Montreal Olympics, protesting New Zealand's sporting contacts with apartheid-era South Africa. While social instability, economic crises, and religious issues can impact a nation's participation, political issues have been the primary driver for Ethiopian boycotts.<br /><br />2. **D. Postal service**<br /><br />The postal service, in various forms, has existed for millennia, predating all other listed options. While arguably not "media" in the modern sense for much of its history, it was a crucial system for transmitting written information and communication. Print media emerged later with the development of printing technologies, followed by broadcast and, most recently, the internet.<br /><br />3. **D. Promotion**<br /><br />While media can certainly be *used* for promotion (advertising, public relations, etc.), promotion itself is not a fundamental *role* of media. The core functions of media are to inform, educate, and entertain. Promotion is a secondary function that leverages these core roles.<br />
