An argument concludes that a new marketing campaign will boost sales because a recent survey showed 70% of current customers liked the campaign's draft advertisements. What type of information would *most effectively* strengthen the link between the campaign and increased sales?

A Data showing that customers who liked the ads also increased their purchasing frequency in the past.
B Evidence that the target demographic for the new campaign is primarily composed of current customers.
C A study indicating that liking advertisements consistently translates into purchasing behavior for this product category.
D Information about the budget allocated for the new marketing campaign.

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

The argument assumes that liking ads translates to buying. Strengthening this link requires evidence that this correlation actually leads to the desired outcome (increased sales) in relevant contexts.
