The key ideas of the paragraph are that (a) manipulating information for attaining power, that is, disinformation, is not new; it was used even in ancient Rome by Octavian and (b) technology has made fabricating content and amplifying falsehoods easier.
Option C states both key ideas and is the best of the given summaries.
Option A is incorrect as it states that disinformation is 'mediated by' technology today. This is not what the paragraph states.
Option B is unrelated to the main idea of the paragraph.
Option D focuses on Octavian whereas the paragraph only gives his example to illustrate how information has been manipulated since ancient times. C is a better summary than D.
