(A) There are other products on the market that are advertised as providing fiber as a dietary supplement.
Incorrect : Other products on the market are irrelevant here.

(B) Nutritionists base their recommendation on medical findings that dietary fiber protects against some kinds of cancer.
Incorrect : Even if it is true, it will not make the advertisement misleading. Eliminated.

(C) It is possible to become addicted to some kinds of advertised pills, such as sleeping pills and painkillers.
Incorrect : ----- same as B -----

(D) The label of the advertised product recommends taking 3 pills every day.
Incorrect : ------ same as B ------

(E) The recommended daily intake of fiber is 20 to 30 grams, and the pill contains one-third gram.
Correct : If this is true then it definitely makes the advertisement misleading because it brings to light the flaw that the content is not mentioned in grams. If it was mentioned in grams, the customers would think twice before buying it for the simple reason that it has very low amount of fibre.
