Examples of how social factors can influence consumer decisions include all of the following EXCEPT...
A. conspicuous consumption.
B. fads.
C. Internet shopping,
D. status symbols.

I would say D, as shopping does not influence your final decision.

polling is a process and the outcome is not involved in the process itself.

the outcome, which is an unfavorable rating for a particular candidate is not affected by the mechanical process of polling.

it rather depends on the number of people voting in favor of the candidate.

this is an outcome of people's preferences.

the correct answer is ''the programs costs have risen dramatically in the recent past'' hope this !
