A Correct answer
Explanation

Make or break is a common idiom meaning to cause someone's complete success or complete failure. The media has the power to create celebrities (make them famous) or destroy their careers (break them). Create/destroy is less idiomatic, and install/remove and anoint/remove don't capture this meaning.
