参考答案【正确答案：D】
根据题干定位到第四段。原文指出But Caroyln Freeman of Revelation Marketing reckons Britain could be on the verge of a marketing surge directed at the grey pound，“similar to what we saw with the pink"．由此可推断出D项“英国会掀起针对老人进行的市场营销热潮”为正确答案。A项“老人只会购买年轻时就认定了的产品”，与卡罗琳·弗里曼无关。B项“婴儿潮时期出生的人也喜欢粉色，像我们看到的那样”，是对原文的曲解。C项“老人市场不会永远发展”与卡罗琳·弗里曼无关，也与原文不符，原文The window will not remain open forever是说市场的机会转瞬即逝。
