Answer 2

In this excerpt, the writer is:

D. giving an explanation of the target audience.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt is basically doing two things. The first one is describe, even if not in a very detailed manner, what can be seen in the add. We now know there is a banner and couple of young people sharing headphones and smiling. The second one is state what the target audience is, which is done at the very end:
