Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
An economics professor providing testimony to a congressional committee on the effect of tariffs would be the least likely story for an American news outlet that relies primarily on advertising revenue to cover as it is not as sensational or attention-grabbing as the other options. It also does not involve any celebrities or high-ranking government officials, which tend to generate more interest and engagement from readers/viewers.
