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.

D. How can we be sure, that it is a primary interest? I mean. It is smth like essentials. Women 'destiny'. If I would start asking women whether washing and cooking their primary interest I doubt that many of them would confirm it.

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 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.

Nothing about the interests of an average woman is mentioned in the statement. So how can somebody clearly state that only condition II follows?

But nothing is mentioned about the interest of women. So how one predict it. I think the answer should be E.

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

D should be the correct answer as nothing is specified in the statement about type of women.
