Television viewing has proven, detrimental effects on both adults and children. These effects range from a decrease in physical activity, resulting in obesity, to social and behavioral abnormalities. The popularity of traditional television viewing has hardly been affected by entertainment offered through the internet, and time spent watching television is the highest of any activity other than sleeping. It is hoped that the increasing of public awareness may result in the decrease of the negative effects caused by the excessive use of this media.

Correct option D: The first is a comparison used to further define the content of the argument; the second is a suggestion proposed to deal with solving the issue raised in the argument.
First BF
"the highest of any activity other than sleeping" matches with
"The first (BF) is a comparison (between time spent watching TV & sleeping) used to further define the content of the argument"
Second BF
"the increasing of public awareness may (emphasis on MAY) result in the decrease of the negative effects "matches with
"the second is a suggestion (Observe the MAY in the BF) proposed to deal with solving the issue (negative effects of watching TV excessively) raised in the argument."
