C) Are you spending way too much on prescription drugs?
D) This is an important message.
E) What I am about to tell you might seem insignificant, but believe me, it's not.

Answer: C
Explanation: C) A good opening avoids an overly pushy, "hard-sell" approach that tends to be off-putting to audiences. Instead, it appeals to emotional and logical elements in a subject the audience is likely to care about. If the opening seems intriguing to the audience, it should be considered a success.
