A) Traditional roles still exist to some extent, but the digital divide has made us aware of new and different social roles

Explanation:

The digital divide refers to the different levels of access to the internet that different groups of people have. This often refers to differences among various cultures, but it can also refer to differences among genders or age groups. These differences often resemble those that we encounter in traditional roles. However, one of the advantages of technology is that it has made us aware of our roles, and of how these can be transformed and modified over time.
