Ivory · Answer 1

I think that in most countries, the marketing analysts would focus on the middle class. One factor is that, the rich class would always be outnumbered by the middle and the lower class. So even if they buy high-priced goods, they would only contribute a small part of the total profit. On the other hand, lower class people can't afford much of these products. That is maybe why commodities are advertising lower prices so as to attract more people. Hence, the answer is most probably letter D.
