d. the rate at which consumers are likely to adopt a new product or service.

Explanation:

Diffusion theory tends to describe that how, why and at what rate does now ideas and technology spreads. This theory is mainly focused on human capital and cannot function without it.

New ideas and technology cannot be spread until people adopt them. Therefore the focus of this theory remains at the rate at which consumers are likely to adopt a new product or service.
