Many experts in international trade claim that providing low- or no-interest loans to start-up businesses in the third world will ultimately benefit American businesses. They claim that these start-up businesses may introduce new markets or products that American businesses will later be able to take advantage of, providing a greater long-term benefit than a higher rate of interest ever could.

Each of the following statements, if true, weakens the conclusion EXCEPT:

(A) 95% of third-world start-ups go out of business within their first two years on the market.

(B) Third-world start-ups tend to focus on niche markets that are not particularly susceptible to foreign competition.

(C) Many third-world countries have regulations that make it difficult for foreign interests to take advantage of successful domestic companies.

(D) Third-world countries with successful domestic businesses usually increase their consumption of imported goods dramatically.

(E) Many third-world governments choose to nationalize important industries as soon as they begin to produce significant exports.

Hey guys please explain your reasoning for your answer choice!
