B.outdoor advertising is a very profitable trade

参考答案：A

参考解析：

细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Now attitudes are changing as more and more of the outdoor advertising industry falls into the hands of multinationals run by people with Harvard MBAs.”可知，拥有哈佛MBA的人经营的跨国公司掌控着越来越多户外广告行业，人们的态度也正在发生变化.根据上文可以推断，之前户外广告不被人看好，而现在却越来越受跨国大企业青睐，证明其地位正在逐渐提高，因此A项正确；B项具有一定迷惑性，但是B项主要是下文的内容，不属于第一段要表达的主题，排除；C项是以前人们对户外广告的态度，所以排除；D项文中未提及，所以排除。故选A。
