"without endangering its other revenues" is the key phrase here; if the magazine attaches its name to one cookware product, and competing cookware companies withdraw their advertising, the magazine will lose advertising revenue. C.

The answer is C. E is incorrect because we are not concerned whether or not the company is prestigious.

The passage states that the magazine has verified the contents of all advertisers and found the one it intends to licensse its name the best. The use of its brand name will appeal to the readers of the magazine. Hence, the cookware manufacturer is the best one in terms of quality it follows that the readers will not have a better option among all the advertisers.

Hence IMO A
