Statement: "If you want to give any advertisement, give it in the newspaper X." - A tells B.
Assumptions:
- B wants to publicise his products.
- Newspaper X has a wide circulation.
Answer: Option

Agree with the above comment. And my answer is option E.
B wants to publicise his product is a fact that why a is suggesting b for newspaper x.
And newspaper x may be a famous newspaper that can publicise very quickly.
B wants to publicise his product is a fact that why a is suggesting b for newspaper x.
And newspaper x may be a famous newspaper that can publicise very quickly.

What if A advised B only on the basis of the advertising cost (say x offers advertisement at lower cost than other newspapers). So X need not to be a wide circulating newspaper, possibly it could be a newspaper with low circulation and low cost levying for advertisement.
