B option is the correct one since the primary interest of women lies in-home and especially kitchen hence the tv programmes are based on the primary interest of women and the same applies to magazines.

D is the right answer here.

If the statement states successful or popular women's magazines for women contained those items, then option B would be justified. As it states correctly, however, there is an underlying and unwritten assumption that magazines written for women accurately reflect their interests.

If women magazines, TV Programs telecast something that doesn't necessarily means it's of women's interest.

D should be the right answer. There's nothing about an 'average women's interest ' mentioned in the lines. You can't just assume that women like these. It's a stereotype.
