C)If Choice C is true, then Internet advertisers are in a real dilemma:Internet ads can be nonintrusive but ignored, or they can be effective but annoying and intrusive. Both sides are bad for Internet advertising, and so Choice C would weaken the case for using the Internet as an advertising medium. Choice A would be a problem for some, but not for AudiO, which doesn't produce political content.

Choice D suggests that Internet advertising has untapped power, which would strengthen the argument. Choice E, if anything, suggests that customers could view Internet ads while doing other things.
