Company X product tastes better than Company Y, which had better advertisements but there is no relation stating that just because Company Y had more advertising it must have a bad product, they were compared on two individual independent quantities hence assumption I is not implicit Comparison.

@All.'

My point is that, Product y is advertising it doesn't mean that. It is a bad product and also it may be new to the market.In both the assumption they generally saying product. But in a statement says about the particular product. So, I think D must be the answer.
