A prominent investor who holds a large stake Burton Tool Company has recently claimed that the company is mismanaged, citing as evidence the company's failure to slow production in response to recent rise in its inventory of finished products It is doubtful whether an investor's sniping at manager can ever be anything other than counterproductive , but in this case it is clearly not justified. It is true that an increased inventory of finished products often indicates that production is outstripping demand, but in Burton's case it indicates no such thing. Rather, the increase in inventory is entirely attributable to products that have already been assigned to orders received from customers.

In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

(A) The first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second provides evidence to undermine the support for the position being opposed.

B The first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second is evidence that has been used to support the position being opposed.

C The first states the position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second states the conclusion of the argument as a whole.
D The first is evidence that has been used to SMPPort a position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second provides information to undermine the force of that evidence.

E The first is evidence that has been used to support a position that the argument as a whole opposes; the second states the conclusion of the argument as a whole.答案是C。请问C是什么意思啊，这种题里的as a whole一般怎么理解。。。

还有就是but in this case it is clearly not justified这句话该怎么理解？

这短话的思路是这样的：引用人家的话，公司管理不好（引用证据），这个观点是不对的，说明原因。
所以公司管理不好，是要反驳的一个观点。
这个观点不对，是整体要表达的一个结论，所以选c。
but in this case it is clearly not justified解释：在这个事情上很明显是不合理的。
as a whole是作为一个整体的意思
