A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product. But large profits on the new product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capabilities. Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.

In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

(A) The first is a consideration that has been raised to argue that a certain strategy is counterproductive; the second presents that strategy.
(B) The first is a consideration raised to support the strategy that the argument recommends; the second presents that strategy.
(C) The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second presents that strategy.
(D) The first is an assumption, rejected by the argument, that has been used to justify a course of action; the second presents that course of action.
(E) The first is a consideration that has been used to justify pursuing a goal that the argument rejects; the second presents a course of action that has been adopted in pursuit of that goal.

答案为什么是C啊？？

我不知道选D还是E。
1部分讲应该以最高价定价，2部分讲定价应该比最高价低一点。所以两部分讲的是不同的策略（概念），二a b c的意思说2个句子讲的是同一回事，所以排除。
D说assumption有点不合适，而且好像也不是要用来Justify 。。。
E说pursuing a goal that the argument rejects，显然最后一句（argument）并没有要拒绝这个“goal”。只是提出更好的办法来pursue the goal。
等高人解答。
