In January of last year the Moviemania chain of movie theaters started propping its popcorn in canola oil, instead of the less healthful coconut oil that it had been using until then. Now Moviemania is planning to switch back, saying that the change has hurt popcorn sales. That claim is false, however, since according to Moviemania's own sales figures, Moviemania sold 5 percent more popcorn last year than in the previous year.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument against Moviemania's claim?

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument against Moviemania's claim? A.

我直接用的排除法,B C D E都不对吧,然后就选A了,虽然开始也想不明白为什么 B. Moviemania makes more money on food and beverages sold at its theaters than does on sales of movie tickets. 无关比较,排除 C. Moviemania's customers prefer the taste of popcorn popped in coconut oil to that of popcorn popped in canola oil. 削弱,既然顾客更喜欢那就应该换回来 D. Total attendance at Moviemania's movie theaters was more than 20 percent higher last year than the year before. 无关,attendance增加并不意味着popcorn销售增加 E. The year before last, Moviemania experienced a 10 percent increase in popcorn sales over the previous year. 无关比较,题干是讲今年和去年,这里说的是去年和前年,对不上
