- Humor
- Sense Appeal
- Transfer/Fantasy

Correct Answer

A. Humor

Explanation

The correct answer is humor because the advertisement uses a comedic situation of a person falling down the stairs to create a humorous effect. The statement "It's the kind of soft drink you could fall for!" plays on the double meaning of "falling" for something, both physically and metaphorically, adding a humorous twist to the advertisement.
