Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the readers are less likely to buy the paper again if the information given is either too simple and they already know it, or if it assumes that they know key points about the topic that are pivotal to know to understand what the article is about when in reality they have no idea what is going on.
