The correct answer is C.

The goal of a campaign is to raise awareness about a specific product or idea. In this case, the idea is to encourage the population to eat more chicken. People should start to associate chicken with health and they should develop positive associations with this type of meat.

Therefore, it is better to avoid any words or phases that invoke negative thoughts or comments even if they are harmless in reality.
