An extensive market study by a major electronics company revealed that advertising plays a huge role when youngsters decide which product to buy. The company has therefore brought on board a major league baseball star to endorse the latest version of its portable music player, which is targeted toward young people.
Which of the following is the assumptions made by the electronics company in signing the major league baseball star?
(A) The major league baseball player is a celebrity with a huge following amongst young people.
(B) The buying decision of young customers is heavily influenced by advertisements featuring well known sports stars.
(C) Baseball is the favorite game of the young people in the US.
(D) Portable music players are a rage amongst baseball players because a majority of them listen to music before a game in order relax and get rid of any nervousness they might be feeling.
(E) Young people are heavily influenced by their peer group and make their decisions based on how they believe the group perceives them.

Although i went for E, indeed the correct answer is B. The company is interested with marketing, so the assumption must be associated with purchase decisions. E was wrong because, making decisions is ambiguous and not specific.
Correct answer: B
Correct answer: B

I went with A. Because if we negate A, it means that he is not a celerity and thus not famous among youngsters. And so the sales of the music player will not increase.
Where am I going wrong?
