Editorial:

Regulations recently imposed by the government of Risemia call for unprecedented reductions in the amounts of pollutants manufacturers are allowed to discharge into the environment.It will take costly new pollution control equipment requiring expensive maintenance to comply with these regulations.Resultant price increases for Risemian manufactured goods will lead to the loss of some export markets.Clearly, therefore, annual exports of Risemian manufactured goods will in the future occur at diminished levels.A

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the editorial?

(A) The need to comply with the new regulations will stimulate the development within Risemia of new pollution control equipment for which a strong worldwide demand is likely to emerge.

(B) The proposed regulations include a schedule of fines for noncompliance that escalate steeply in cases of repeated noncompliance.

(C) Savings from utilizing the chemicals captured by the pollution control equipment will remain far below the cost of maintaining the equipment.

(D) By international standards, the levels of pollutants currently emitted by some of Risemia's manufacturing plants are not considered excessive.

(E) The stockholders of most of Risemia's manufacturing corporations exert substantial pressure on the corporations to comply with environmental laws.

我选了A但是是因为其他感觉都不对，但A也不对啊，文章中不都说了It will take costly new pollution control equipment requiring expensive maintenance to comply with these regulations.  刺激新的污染控制仪器的发展又有什么用呢？

题干的意思是，研究人员认为R国让高污染的制造企业降低污染的规定会造成这些企业的成本上升，因为企业要购买和维护环保设备。所以，R国的制造产品的出口会下降。求削弱。
A的意思是，这个规定会促进R过环保设备行业的发展，而且环保设备在世界范围内的需求都会上升。（潜台词是虽然其他高污染的产品出口下降了；但是R国可以出口更多的环保设备，环保设备也是一类制造产品，所以总的出口不会下降。）
希望说明白了。
