(1 point)
baby boomers needed more consumer goods than the generation of children that came before them.
the parents of baby boomers were not interested in the growing influence of consumerism
the parents of baby boomers indulged their children so they would become well - adjusted adults
baby boomers had a great deal of influence over their parents purchasing decisions

Explanation:

The question requires identifying the cause that led advertisers to target baby boom children directly instead of their parents. We need to find an option that explains why shifting focus to children made strategic sense for advertisers.

• The first option about needing more goods does not explain why advertisers would target children over parents.
• The second option about parents not caring about consumerism is not a logical cause for targeting children, as it would not drive advertisers to shift focus.
• The third option about parental indulgence does not directly connect to advertisers' choice to market to children.
• The fourth option is correct: if baby boomers influenced their parents' purchases, advertisers would target the children directly to leverage that influence and drive sales.

Answer:

Baby boomers had a great deal of influence over their parents' purchasing decisions.
