    • FTC

    • Brand Name Loyalty

    Correct Answer
    A. Comparative Advertising
    Explanation
    Comparative advertising is a type of advertising that involves making direct comparisons between competing products. This form of advertising aims to highlight the advantages of one product over another, often by pointing out specific features or benefits. It is commonly used to persuade consumers to choose a particular product over its competitors by emphasizing its superiority. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulates comparative advertising to ensure that it is truthful and not misleading. Brand name loyalty, on the other hand, refers to consumers' preference for a specific brand and is not directly related to making comparisons between products.
