快要考试了，可是逻辑实在太差了


Manufacturers sometimes discount the price of a product to retailers for a promotion period when the product is advertised to consumers.Such promotions often result in a dramatic increase in amount of product sold by the manufacturers to retailers.Nevertheless, the manufacturers could often make more profit by not holding the promotions.



Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim above about the manufacturers' profit?



(A) The amount of discount generally offered by manufacturers to retailers is carefully calculated to represent the minimum needed to draw consumers' attention to the product.

(B) For many consumer products the period of advertising discounted prices to consumers is about a week, not sufficiently long for consumers to become used to the sale price.

(C) For products that are not newly introduced, the purpose of such promotions is to keep the products in the minds of consumers and to attract consumers who are currently using competing products.

(D) During such a promotion retailers tend to accumulate in their warehouses inventory bought at discount; they then sell much of it later at their regular price.

(E) If a manufacturer fails to offer such promotions but its competitor offers them, that competitor will tend to attract consumers away from the manufacturer's product.



选D，不晓得为什么。。。

谢谢ls的，但我还是没有太理解

argument中的结论是：然而，制造商the manufacturers 在不进行促销活动时可以获得更多的利润

D我觉得怎么说也和制造商无关啊：在折扣期，零售商囤积了一些折扣价买进的货品，而后以正常价格出售。
这和制造商的利润有啥关系？？想不通啊想不通

零售商在打折期间买的多了，打折期过了以后就少进货了，这样就影响制造商正常的profit了。
