Denoma, a major consumer-electronics maker, had a sizable decline in sales revenue for its most recent fiscal year.This result appears surprising, because electronics retailers report that although their overall sales were considerably lower than in the previous year, their sales revenue from Denoma models actually grew, largely thanks to some innovative and popular models that Denoma introduced.

Which of the following, if true, does most to explain the apparently surprising result?

A. Because of the need to educate the public about its new models’ capabilities, Denoma’s advertising spending was higher than normal over the period.

B. For the period at issue, Denoma’s major competitors reported declines in revenue that were, in percentage terms, greater than Denoma’s.

C. A significant proportion of Denoma’s revenue comes from making components for other consumer-electronics manufacturers.

D. Unlike some of its major competitors, Denoma has no lines of business outside consumer electronics to provide revenue when retail sales of consumer electronics are weak.

E. During the period, consumer-electronics retailers sold remaining units of Denoma’s superseded models at prices that were deeply discounted from those models’ original prices.
【答案：D】
【为什么D的产品型号卖出的增多，而D卖给其他制造商的零件占收入的大部，D的收入反而会下降呢？】
【A中，我把收入和利润搞混了，嘿嘿~】

The answer is C not D. And I really have no idea about that.

这道题我也不是很明白，但感觉solve the paradox类型的题目都是这种玩文字游戏的题目，所以还望有大神指点了：
我的理解是这样的：
A：说D的ads spending比往年高。这或许能说明为什么针对consumer的销售收入减少了，但是却不能解释retailer说的销售收入的提高。而且ads spending在本题中感觉没啥关系，所以无关。
B：D的竞争者收入下降得更多。这里只有D自己的收入减少和收入增加的比较，没有其他竞争者的参与，所以无关。
C：有很大一部分的D的收入是给其他消费者电子产品商制作零件而得来的，那么解释了为什么 electronics retailers说虽然overall销售量减少了，但是销售收入增多，因为那部分的销售量给零件了，没有算进去。而且前一部分说的是consumer-electronic maker的销售收入减少，也就是成品+零件的收入相对所有都是成品的要少。
D：不像其他的主要竞争者，D没有除了消费者电子产品以外的商业线在商品卖的不好时来产生收入。这或许能解释为什么sales revenue减少了，却无法证实retailer也是对的。错
E：D把已经成为废品的（superseded model) 以非常低的折扣价卖出。无关。

个人己见，请更多人来讨论这道吧！
