- by suggesting that the salt appeals mostly to young people
- by suggesting that people have adopted the salt without much thought

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
A yawn spreads easily and unthinkingly among people. The phrase "catch on like a yawn" implies the grinders (and the associated salt) were adopted by people without much deliberate thought, matching option D. Other options misinterpret the yawn metaphor: it's not about sleepiness, uninterest, or only young people.
# Answer:
D. by suggesting that people have adopted the salt without much thought
