Answer
A
nostalgia
B
beautiful people
C
positive association
D
simple solution

Explanation

The advertisement links wearing the brand to a desirable result: impressing friends. This is positive association, because it encourages people to connect the clothing with social approval. “Beautiful people” would focus on attractive people wearing the product, which the question does not describe.
