Question Stats:

 0% (00:00) wrong based on 0 sessions
In many surveys, American consumers have expressed a willingness to spend up to 10 percent more for products that are ecologically sound. Encouraged by such surveys, Bleach-O Corporation promoted a new laundry detergent, Bleach-O Green, as safer for the environment. Bleach-O Green cost 5 percent more than typical detergents. After one year, Bleach-O Green had failed to capture a significant share of the detergent market and was withdrawn from sale.
Which of the following questions is LEAST likely to be relevant in determining the reasons for the failure of Bleach-O Green?
(A) How effective as a detergent was Bleach-O Green?
(B) How many other detergents on the market were promoted as safe for the environment?
(C) How much more did Bleach-O Green cost to manufacture than ordinary detergents?
(D) To what extent did consumers accept the validity of Bleach-O Green advertised and promoted to consumers?
(E) How effectively was Bleach-O Green advertised and promoted to consumers?

I think it's C!
All other answers focus on the consumer which is also addressed in the passage.
C however is about internal manufacturing costs, an issue that is never mentioned in the text.

I think its C as well. C isnt quite relevant to ask in this situation; in this situation, the questions should concern the marketplace situation for these green products. The other options ask the relevant questions such as how many other products occupied this space, how much marketing was done, etc.
