The purpose of using attack language in advertising is primarily:

D to make the competitor or other product seem negative.

This tactic aims to highlight the shortcomings of competing products or services, thereby positioning the advertised product as a superior choice. While options A, B, and C may also describe aspects of advertising strategies, they do not capture the essence of "attack language" as it specifically pertains to diminishing competitors in the audience's eyes.
