Complaints that milk bottlers take enormous markups on the bottled milk sold to consumers are most likely to arise when least warranted by the actual spread between the price that bottlers pay for raw milk and the price at which they sell bottled milk. The complaints occur when the bottled-milk price rises, yet these price increases most often merely reflect the rising price of the raw milk that bottlers buy from dairy farmers. When the raw-milk price is rising, the bottlers’ markups are actually smallest proportionate to the retail price. When the raw-milk price is falling, however, the markups are greatest.
If all of the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true on the basis of them?
(A) Consumers pay more for bottled milk when raw-milk prices are falling than when these prices are rising.
(B) Increases in dairy farmers’ cost of producing milk are generally not passed on to consumers.
(C) Milk bottlers take substantially greater markups on bottled milk when its price is low for an extended period than when it is high for an extended period.
(D) Milk bottlers generally do not respond to a decrease in raw-milk prices by straightaway proportionately lowering the price of the bottled milk they sell.（D）
(E) Consumers tend to complain more about the price they pay for bottled milk when dairy farmers are earning their smallest profits.
请高人指点，为什么C 选项不对。（我已经看过了04年的一个帖子，但是没有人解释为什么C选项不对。）
答案是d吗？
对于c，牛奶瓶装商在生牛奶很便宜时即使出卖其产品时价很低也能赚很大利润，如果出卖其产品时出价很高而生牛奶价也相当高时他获得的李润也不是很高时最后差价也是很低的，所以不能就断言c是正确答案。
C的错误在于extended period。命题中压根没提到什么extended period。new element错误。
正确答案是E。知道为什么了吗？不用再解释了吧。
这个题蛮简单的。
why e is right?
In the premise, it is "the bottlers’ markups are actually smallest proportionate to the retail price".
Not the "dairy farmers "
