Answer
A
Fake news is used to inform the public about important events.
B
Publishers of fake news print retractions when they have reported untruths.
C
Fake news deliberately publishes incorrect information for the public.
D
Fake news happens when the publisher does not check the facts.
E
Publishers of fake news may be interested in financial or political gain.

Explanation

Fake news is created to mislead, so it deliberately publishes incorrect information; this makes C true. Its publishers may also spread false stories to earn money or advance a political goal, so E is true. A publisher who simply fails to check facts may spread inaccurate information, but that is not necessarily deliberate fake news.
