Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Folk music, in the original sense of the term, 1s music by and of the common people. Folk music developed, and best survived, in societies which was not yet affected by mass communication and the commercialization of culture. It normally was shared by the entire community (not by a special class of expert performers), and was transmitted by words of mouth. Folk music seems to be synonymous with traditional music. The English term folk, which gained usage in the 18th century, refers to peasants or non-literate peoples. The term is used to emphasize that folk music emerges spontaneously from communities of ordinary people.Folk music has been transmitted by words of mouth though a community will and developed in various ways because this kind of transmission cannot produce word-for-word and note-for-note accuracy. Indeed, many folk singers are quite creative and deliberately modify the material they learn. Folk song is the foundation on which music is based. The classical as well as light music derives inspiration from folk songs. Great musicians and singers have composed their exquisite melodies based on folk songs. In general, the music has a strong effect on minds of human beings. It appeals directly to the soul and is said to be the food of love. People sing themselves or hear from others with joy and delight. More than any other kinds of music, folk music is common in every part of the world. It not only reflects the culture and tradition of the people and expresses their emotions and sentiments but also contains beautiful description of hills, deserts, hikes, rivers, plains, forests, the Moon, the Sun, stars, clouds, rains, flowers, and many other aspects of nature. Naturally, in some places where industrialization and commercialization of culture are most advanced, there is a tendency to be the loss of folk music. Yet in nations or regions where folk music is a badge of cultural or national identity, the loss of folk music can be slowed; for example, in  Hungary, Ireland, Turkey, and Greece, people retain their traditional music to some degree.
