Hi,
Is the answer D?
For B to be correct, you are assuming things which are not mentioned. The argument nowhere talks about the correlation between name recognition and percentage of votes.

The question says a candidate will get maximum recognition through radio advertising. maximum doesn't mean it will cover 100% of the voters. But that is what C says, which is extreme. So C can be ruled out.mankey wrote:Stuck with C and D. Please help.

The initial statement is very simple. It gives you one fact: radio advertising will do the job. Any answer that brings in other factors such as votes or demographics will be out of scope.

The stimulus tells us radio alone is enough to get the highest possible name recognition. It does not tell us anything about votes. There will always be candidates with high name recognition who do not get the most votes. Name recognition simply means awareness, not liking or approval.
