C. Recent immigrants are more likely to respond to advertisements in their native language.
D. Some advertisers believe that Spanish speaking and English-speaking audiences will respond in different ways to the same message.

Official explanation:
D) If you assume that advertisements are crafted to be most effective, then it is logical to infer that the differences in the advertisements discussed in the passage are the result of the advertisers' belief that certain messages would be more effective with some audiences than on others. This is the same as saying that the two audiences will respond in different ways to the same message, so choice (D) is correct.
In order to identify choices (A) and (C) as invalid inferences, you must recognize that the advertisements might not accurately reflect the two audiences' actual beliefs. In other words, it could be the case that the advertisers got it wrong, and ads emphasizing community provoke equally strong responses among members of both audiences. If this were the case, which it very well may be, then you can't infer anything about either audience from the information given in the advertisements alone. Choice (A) is a sweeping generalization. Does this apply to people in Spain, Mexico, or is it limited to Spanish-speakers in US cities? Choice (C) is also problematic because there is no mention of recent immigrants.
Choice (B) is tempting because it generalizes the information given in the passage regarding subway advertisements; however, you do not have enough information to conclude anything about the behaviors of "most" advertisers.
Choice (E) contains unrelated information.
Choice (D) is the only one that can be logically inferred from the argument. Therefore, it is the correct answer.
