A software company plans to develop new open-source software, which will be created online through the volunteer efforts of any interested programmers. Although the software will be free for anyone to use, the company predicts that it will nonetheless boost profits, since it will, cost almost nothing to develop and will improve the company's status in the eyes of customers in the market for its other software.
Which of the following, if true, would most help to support the company’s prediction about the effects of implementing the plan?
(A)  Most customers in the market for the kinds of software the company makes prefer to buy from companies that make open-source software.
(B)  The company has already improved its status among programmers by developing a variety of other open-source software.

我觉得B-不正确，是因为他没有用文章中的手段，而是用了另一个手段从而达到提升公司地位的。这都和文章的手段目的不符

B可以加强没错, 但是题目让你思考的方向是手段能达到目的, 并不是可行性
