And now, look at the questions:

Q.1 shows no supplies are available for orders RM10 and below

    - the underlined words are the keywords, so these words will lead

      you to choose the advertisement which involves price which is more than RM10. 

So, B seems to qualify the fact; which is, minimum order of only RM25. 

Q.2 offers food which are free of additives or other artificial substances.

- the underlined keywords will guide you to choose C which contains the words, certified organic and Non-GMO

Q.3 helps the overweight to lose their weight.

Q.4 cherishes a day for the customers every month.
