The Calex TelecommunicationsCompany is planning to introduce cellular telephone service into isolatedcoastal areas of Caladia, a move which will require considerableinvestment.  However, the onlysignificant economic activity in these areas is small-scale coffee farming, andnone of the coffee farmers make enough money to afford the monthly service feesthat Calex would have to charge to make a profit.  Nevertheless, Calex contends that making theservice available to these farmers will be profitable.

Which of the following, if true,provides the strongest support for Calex's contention?

投资大，人们没钱用这个东西，但是投资仍会赚钱，因为？ 答案选A 我觉A不能加强啊 求指教

(A) Currently, Caladian coffeefarmers are forced to sell their coffee to local buyers at whatever price thosebuyers choose to pay because the farmers are unable to remain in contact withoutside buyers who generally offer higher prices.  说这些农民被强迫把咖啡卖给buyers无论什么价格,因为他们没办法和外界的可以出更高钱的买家保持联系。

(B) In the coastal areas of Caladiawhere Calex proposes to introduce cellular telephone service, there iscurrently no fixed-line telephone service because fixed-line companies do notbelieve that they could recoup their investment.

(C) A cellular telephone companycan break even with a considerably smaller number of subscribers than afixed-line company can, even in areas such as the Caladian coast, where thereis no difficult terrain to drive up the costs of installing fixed lines.

(D) Calex bases its monthly feesfor cellular telephone service in a given region partly on the cost ofinstalling the necessary equipment to provide the service there.

(E) Calex has for years made aprofit on cellular telephone service in Caladia's capital city, which is notfar from the coastal region.
