Model Answer
(C) Always looking for ISI marks and expiry dates, and insisting on paying by meter in an auto.
Explanation
The textbook survey (Chapter 5) states a consumer is extremely aware if they answer "Always" for checking ISI marks, expiry dates (Q.6), and insisting on paying by meter in an auto (Q.17). Options A and B reflect poor consumer behaviour (Q.13 and Q.15 should be "Never"), and D is incomplete awareness.
