Complete answer: In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of an advertisement. An advertisement is a public promotion of some product or service. It is also called as an ad.
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (a.), 'Purchase', refers to ‘the acquisition of something for payment’.
Therefore, option (a.) is correct as information related to the purchase of something isn’t relevant in an advertisement.
Option (b.), ‘Make and model of the washing machine', refers to specific details about the product.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as it belongs in an advertisement.
Option (c.), ‘Condition of the washing machine', refers to specific details about the product.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as it belongs in an advertisement.
Option (d.), ‘Her contact details', refers to the means to contact Manya in case someone wants to buy the washing machine.
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as it belongs in an advertisement.
Hence, Option a is the right answer.

Note: There are two kinds of advertisements;
(i)Classified- These are in the columns of newspapers and magazines.
(ii)Commercial-These are designed for commercial purposes.
