Which of the following statements accurately describes Brenton Tarrant's Christchurch attack?

• A. Planned and communicated about an attack on a mosque in Christchurch.
• B. Led a peaceful protest.
• C. Hacked a bank.
• D. The attack was livestreamed on Facebook.

Answer: (D)

The key point this item tests is a verifiable fact about the Christchurch attack that had a major impact on discussions about media and platform responsibility. Brenton Tarrant carried out a mass shooting at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March 2019, and the attack was streamed live on Facebook. This real-time broadcast brought the violence into millions of feeds and sparked widespread debate about how social media platforms should handle live violent content, moderation, and the spread of extremist material. The other statements do not align with what happened: the event was not a peaceful protest, it did not involve hacking a bank, and while there was planning and a manifesto, the distinct, widely corroborated feature that stands out is the live livestream on a major platform.
