Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The FTC's current policy determining whether or not an ad is deceptive is based on three basic elements: whether the ad is misleading, the effect it would have on a reasonable consumer, and whether the representation or omission is material. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it includes all three basic elements. Option B is incorrect as it includes "typical consumer" instead of "reasonable consumer". Option C is incorrect as it includes "comparative ad" which is not one of the basic elements of the FTC's policy. Option D is incorrect as it includes "not avoidable" which is not one of the basic elements of the FTC's policy. Option E is incorrect as it includes "false" instead of "misleading".
