Question

Which newspaper in UK was caught in the controversy of hacking phones of celebrities and politicians?

The correct answer is

News of the World

The phone hacking scandal that shook British journalism centred on the tabloid News of the World, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News International.

Reporters and private investigators working for the paper illegally intercepted voicemails of celebrities, politicians, members of the royal family, and even crime victims. The public outrage led to the paper's closure in July 2011 and a wider inquiry into press ethics under the Leveson Inquiry.

Hence, the correct option is News of the World.
