(A) is False. The measurement taken in this statement has nothing to do with the marketing director's first measurement.

(B) is False. The fact that competitors try to increase sales by making the the information booths more productive does not support the prediction.

(C) is True. The important customers are invited to attend the booth. They will attract new customers. This does support the marketing director's prediction.

(D) is False. Let's assume the important customers will attend Vitacorp's booth. Then this fact does not necessarily support the prediction.

(E) is False. In my opinion it is easy to understand why this statement does not support the prediction. :)

Option (C) says that a well attended information booth will attract new visitors.

By asking important (old) customers to attend the information booth more people will come (out of curiosity). This will make the information booth more productive in terms of boosting sales.

Option (C) supports the prediction.

IMO C

why C makes sense to me it that....... the best customers are not something that the company considers a gain in their marketing strategy but if those best customers can cause other people to come to the booth that can surely make their plan successful..

D is the one that strikes me, as it talks about some connection between booth best customer and competitor...

I am against C because attending the booth itself doesn't seems to have any further connection...

Just found somewhere OG is C only and D is incorrect because:

Choice D presents a difficulty for the plan-Vitacrop’s best customers also use its
competitors-and provides no way of overcoming this difficulty.

I still feel C should be the answer.
