The imposition of quotas limiting imported steel will not help the big American steel mills. In fact, the quotas will help “mini-mills” flourish in the United States. Those small domestic mills will take more business from the big American steel mills than would have been taken by the foreign steel mills in the absence of quotas.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the claim made in the last sentence above?

(A) Quality rather than price is a major factor in determining the type of steel to be used for a particular application.
(B) Foreign steel mills have long produced grades of steel comparable in quality to the steel produced by the big American mills.
(C) American quotas on imported goods have often induced other countries to impose similar quotas on American goods.
(D) Domestic “mini-mills” consistently produce better grades of steel than do the big American mills.
(E) Domestic “mini-mills” produce low-volume, specialized types of steels that are not produced by the big American steel mills.

OA：E

读的费劲就是因为这句话
Those small domestic mills will take more business from the big American steel mills than would have been taken by the foreign steel mills in the absence of quotas.
大概就是说：
大mill肯定是要被抢生意了；
没quota是foreign mill抢，有quota就成了小mill抢

感觉你说的倒没错，但好像强调的地方跟我理解的不一样。

Those small domestic mills will take more business from the big American steel mills than would have been taken by the foreign steel mills in the absence of quotas.

说的是小工厂会夺走更多大工厂的生意，而不是原本外国工厂做的生意。
问题：哪个选项可以反驳上面这个论述。
E：小工厂生产的钢于大工厂不同。
