Established companies concentrate on defending what they already have. Consequently, they tend not to be innovative themselves and tend to underestimate the effects of the innovations of others. The clearest example of this defensive strategy is the fact that_____.

(A) ballpoint pens and soft-tip markers have eliminated the traditional market for fountain pens, clearing the way for the marketing of fountain pens as luxury or prestige items

(B) a highly successful automobile was introduced by the same company that had earlier introduced a model that had been a dismal failure

(C) a once-successful manufacturer of slide rules reacted to the introduction of electronic calculators by trying to make better slide rules

(D) one of the first models of modern accounting machines, designed for use in the banking industry, was purchased by a public library as well as by banks

(E) the inventor of a commonly used anesthetic did not intend the product to be used by dentists, who currently account for almost the entire market for that drug.

这道题我在坛子里没有搜到成熟的讨论搞，我不明白的是为什么选Ｃ？
defensive strategy 是指防御性保守的计划。
题中提到2点作为此类计划的特征
1、没有革新精神，维护其已有产品及成果-
2、低估创新产品

难道reacted to the introduction of electronic calculators by trying to make better slide rules 　就是符合第一点么? reaction就是代表了没有创新精神？

There is a difference between improving and inventing. C) says a once-successful (or established) manufacturer tried to improve its old product when a novel product showed up. That's exactly what the passage talks about.
