If you're considering 1 as implicit then you've got to consider 3 as well.

How is it implied that catchy slogans appeal to people?

The catchy-ness of a slogan changes from person to person. But the slogan with neighbors' envy is clearly aimed at people who want to stand apart in their peer circle. Surely the statement III is implicit.

The ad is targeting those that obviously want to be envied by their neighbors, if they did not think that were the case, then the advertiser would not include it in their ad.
It's clear that their target demographic includes people that would make a purchase so as to boost their ego's by way of their neighbors envy. The answer is clearly D (All are implicit)

I strongly feel III is implicit. When they are saying that slogan is catchy to people itself implies that the consumer will be wanting to make the neighbours envious.

It says exactly the same thing, the answer contradicts itself.

Statement I is not implicit as the slogan appeal to people will depend from individual to individual.

Neighbor's envy, directly implies that one would want neighbors to be envious of their possessions. So III is implicit. As for I it is a catchy slogan to me but catchy can be subjective!

Isn't III implicit? They post advertisements according to the customers' wants.
Since they included "neighbor's envy" doesn't that mean that people actually want to be envied by others?

I agree that III is not implicit, since the statement only mentions that owners want to be proud (and nothing about how they want their neighbours to feel).
However, I do not agree that I is implicit, since the statement does not offer any information about its success as a TV advertisement (also, "catchy" is a highly subjective term).
