Dropped some critical thinking task

Research in America suggests that people are more likely to recognise the stars of soap operas than world leaders. A sample of 400 people were given photographs of three world leaders and three "soap stars'. Only 30% were able to identify the world leaders, such as the Russian president Vladimir Putin, yet 80% were able to identify 'soap stars' such as Jennifer Aniston, one of the main actors in the American series 'Friends'.
Which of the following is a conclusion that can be drawn from the above passage?

A Some people in the sample recognised both the soap opera stars and the world leaders.

B Some people in the sample recognised neither the soap opera stars nor the world leaders.

C At least 80% of those in the sample must regularly watch soap operas.

D A person who recognises soap opera stars is more likely to recognise world leaders.

E A person who recognises world leaders is less likely to recognise soap opera stars
D A person who recognises soap opera stars is more likely to recognise world leaders.
