Hi,
I have a doubt.
how 'Successfully launching a new product' is necessary condition??
in this case I selected opposite('Successfully launching a new product' as sufficient condition) and went on to select option B.
in these type of questions how to select necessary and sufficient condition.

'Successfully launching a new product' is not a necessary condition.
To successfully launch a new product, you NEED one of two things - 'prominent shelf space' or 'consumers seeking'
So the necessary condition is 'EITHER prominent shelf space OR consumers seeking'.
Notice the use of REQUIRES in the first sentence: Successfully launching a new product for supermarket sale requires either that supermarkets give prominent shelf
space to the product or that plenty of consumers who have not tried it seek it out.
(B) If consumers who have not tried a new product do not seek it out and if its manufacturer does not promote it in trade
journals, then it will not have a successful launch.
B tells you that consumers do not seek it. So we need it to have prominent shelf space. B does not tell you that the product doesn't get prominent shelf space too. Notice it only says that it is not promoted in trade journals. There are many other ways in which a product can get prominent shelf space (the last line of the argument says 'one way .... is trade journals.' It doesn't say the only way is trade journals.).
B only says that trade journals are not used. We don't know if any of the other methods are not used either. Hence, we cannot say that the product will not have a successful launch.
