Answer 1a) A. Peripheral
When the evaluation of a message of an advertisement is done by someone from external factors such as physical attractiveness, background music, other characteristics rather than the actual content of the message is called peripheral route processing.
It is dependent on the external factors more than the actual content of the information.
Therefore, using emotion may be more effective when the receiver is utilizing the peripheral route of processing the information as they are more reliant on external stimuli during this phase.
Answer 1b) A. Value
Products are to be evaluated on the basis of the choice of the customers. Such types of products are valuable products that give profit in the market.
