Where are these questions from? The above isn't in English. This is not the "official LSAT" version of the question -- the official version reads like this:

Advertisers have learned that people are more easily
encouraged to develop positive attitudes about things
toward which they originally have neutral or even
negative attitudes if those things are linked, with
pictorial help rather than exclusively through prose, to
things about which they already have positive attitudes.
Therefore, advertisers are likely to _______.

to which the answer is E, but in the question I quoted, no answer is all that good (and the stem makes no sense).

focus on this line  "This would further help if the prose is accompanied by the pictures as well"  
It clearly says is a picture is accompanied by a prose then it will be an additional benefit for the advertisers to create positive mindset of the people

A. use little if any written prose in their advertisements
 -Incorrect. opposite to what is said.

B. try to encourage people to develop positive attitudes about products that can be better represented pictorially than in prose
 -Incorrect. there is no comparison made between the products represented pictorially vs with a prose. It is said that prose is and addition to picture. hence, wrong.

C. place their advertisements on television rather than in magazines
 -Correct. clearly this gives us what we need. On magazines it will be only pictures but on televisions prose can be used along with pictures and that will benefit advertisers.

D. highlight the desirable features of the advertised product by contrasting them pictorially with undesirable features of a competing product.
 -Incorrect. competing product is out of context

E. create advertisements containing pictures of things most members of the target audience like
 -Incorrect. it is already stated that even if people have neutral or negative views about a product it can be transformed into positive with the help of picture and prose. so no need to exclusively focus on what people like.
