I too thought it is confusing between popular and unpopular but has mentioned in past, people rarely choose low-fat ice creams and now its demand increased as most of them liking to have low-fat food.

"low-fat foods in all categories has made low-fat ice cream a very profitable".
"all categories" given in the statement implies a comparison and therefore, D would be a better option.

Here they didn't mention that it is popular or not and moreover this paragraph tells about their behaviour towards customers interest so I think B also supports this answer.

No here they don't mention its a popular one or unpopular. Only said about the owner and customer interest in ice creams and why it is popular means because of low fat.

I think d should be the answer. Nowhere is mentioned that owners had any issue with the popularity of the two different ice creams.

Any thing is demanded in the market means it is popular and people are liking it. So I also think 'd' is right is correct answer.

That what mention owner does not think low fat ice cream be more unpopular. This means it is popular.
