E)Choice E supports the argument of the account manager to focus on consumer-generated advertising through social media sites. Since young males use the sites most frequently, and also eat the most pizza, the account manager is reaching a greater number of the target audience. Choices A, B, and C support the position by the CEO, by suggesting that the opportunities for mainstream media advertising have never been higher, during a time when both production and rate costs are falling. Choice D represents a long-term concern for the CEO's position if the networks lose the battle to limit commercial-skipping features, but it isn't really relevant to the current argument between the account manager and the CEO.
