Information literacy or media literacy?

Dear library professionals!

I was just matching my OMR sheet for paper III with answer key available on UGC website and the answer number 4 doesn’t seem to be correct as per my knowledge. Paul Zurkowski, president of US Information Industry Association, was the first who introduced the term ‘information literacy’ instead of digital literacy in 1974.

Can anybody conduct a quick search on this and let me know the results so that I can improve my knowledge for next attempt.

I have attached an article for your reference please have a look on the highlighted lines in yellow.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ajaz
