In the country of Veltria, the past two years' broad economic recession has included a business downturn in the clothing trade, where sales are down by about 7 percent as compared to two years ago. Clothing wholesalers have found, however, that the proportion of credit extended to retailers that was paid off on time fell sharply in the first year of the recession but returned to its prerecession level in the second year.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the change between the first and the second year of the recession in the proportion of credit not paid off on time?

AThe total amount of credit extended to retailers by clothing wholesalers increased between the first year of the recession and the second year.
BBetween the first and second years of the recession, clothing retailers in Veltria saw many of their costs, rent and utilities in particular, increase.
COf the considerable number of clothing retailers in Veltria who were having financial difficulties before the start of the recession, virtually all were forced to go out of business during its first year.
DClothing retailers in Veltria attempted to stimulate sales in the second year of the recession by discounting merchandise.
ERelatively recession-proof segments of the clothing trade, such as work clothes, did not suffer any decrease in sales during the first year of the recession.

求各位NN指教！
如果C是正确答案的话，似乎与原文“ return to its prerecession level in the second year"是矛盾的。
由于C选项说的那些retailer在recession之前已经有financial difficulties那么他们应该是没有按时
pay off credit 如果他们在recession第一年破产了,那么这些破产的retailer排除,那么second year 的
按时paid off的proportion 应当是高于prerecession level的，而非return to.

不知是不是我在英语理解上有误，求各位NN指教，谢谢！！
