说对于manufacturer而言,让retailer从他们那里把东西买过去,是最终retailer把东西销售给消费者的重要condition. (然后说,manufacturer通常向retailer提供量大从优的折扣。这就造成 了,retailer常常为了获得这些折扣,而提前大量地进货。结果东西进了又卖不出去,就在retailer那边堆起来了。而那边manufacturer并不知道,还在傻乎乎地拼命生产哩。这样的情况给manufacturer带来的坏处是,增加了ditribution的成本什么的。问:有什么办法可以减少这一情况? 我选的是:把享受discount和把东西销售给最终消费者的时间联系起来。这个选项里有个词: contingent ,就是把什么作为什么的伴随条件的意思。

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.
