Answer:

D. Contrast

Step-by-step explanation:

Contrast is the situation whereby consumers are familiar with an idea and are unwilling to change the idea. It is situation whereby a product does not share enough existing or common information with known categories. In this scenario, the lemonade introduces didn't share common information with existing categories in the form of color and consistency, hence why consumers had negative response towards the drink.
