prep上的一道逻辑题，纠结很久了

At present the Hollywood Restaurant has only standard-height tables.However, many customers come to watch the celebrities who frequent the Hollywood

, and they would prefer tall tables with stools because such seating would afford a better view of the celebrities.Moreover, diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables.Therefore, if the Hollywood replaced some of its seating with high tables and stools, its profits would increase.

The argument is vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it gives reason to believe that it is likely that

(A) some celebrities come to the Hollywood

to be seen, and so might choose to sit at the tall tables if they were available

(B) the price of meals ordered by celebrities dining at the Hollywood

compensates for the longer time, if any, they spend lingering over their meals

(C) a customer of the Hollywood

who would choose to sit at a tall table would be an exception to the generalization about lingering

(D) a restaurant's customers who spend less time at their meals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain at their meals longer

(E) with enough tall tables to accommodate all the Hollywood

's customers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of other tall tables

这题D选项不也是削弱么？另外本题题目的意思翻译成中文是什么？感谢各位！

><...同选D的路过。。不过你可以看看叫这个。。恩恩

还有，原文的意思是
现在好莱坞的餐馆只有标准高度的餐桌
然而很多来用餐的顾客是为了看经常出没的明星，他们更喜欢高桌子，因为能看的更清楚。
而且坐在高桌子的人比坐在标准高度的餐桌的人用餐时间短。这样餐厅就可以盈利更多。

按照nn的意思是说
C中“那些来好莱坞看明星选高桌子吃饭的人是例外（是题目中说的do not stay long常规思维的的例外）。所以餐厅不会因为这个赚更多。起到削弱作用了。
