Question

which best explains why companies use celebrities to endorse their products?
○ to develop a brand
○ to copy other companies
○ to influence consumers
○ to justify a quality claim

Explanation:

Celebrities have a large fan base and influence. When they endorse a product, companies aim to use this influence to make consumers more likely to buy the product. "To develop a brand" is a broader goal, celebrity endorsement is a tool for it. "To copy other companies" is not a valid business strategy for endorsement. "To justify a quality claim" - celebrities don't prove product quality, they influence consumer perception. So the best reason is to influence consumers.

Answer:

C. to influence consumers
