OA is D, this is a GMAT prep question.

C can't be right, because this is an "inference" question, and C introduces an element that was never mentioned: every demographically distinct sector of the voting population of Los Angeles.

D is correct, because there's nothing said about needing other additional media channels in order to reach maximum name recognition, unless there's a tiny fine print "based on very specific case of one candidate."
Yep.

Please correct me, but I think this is Kaplan question and not GMAT Prep. Answer is D, I agree
