a) small companies are less likely than large companies to have the capital reserves for improvement.
b) the operation of small companies frequently rely on the same technologies as the operations of large companies.

I like A.
A says, since small companies have less capital for improvements mandated by regulations, they are the hardest hit and probably will be taken out of operation.
Large companies have the money to implement the regulations.So, even though large companies face hardships, they are less effected than the small companies are.

Same here . My bet would be on B . If there is something which establishes similarities between small and large companies , it will weaken the argument .
