A fashion designer, aspiring to be an online retailer, approached the founder of a mid-sized software company and asked, “How long will it take your company to build a sophisticated website and to publicize my apparel designs organically over the internet?” The founder said, “If you give me 10 designs per week, with a high quality write-up and an illustrative video for each, one year”. The designer asked, “How long if I give you 50 designs per week, each with five high quality write-ups and five illustrative videos?” The founder responded, “How do you think you have a better chance of reaching a good physique? Working out 15 hours a day for 2 weeks or 2 hours a day for 15 weeks?”
The founder answers the designer’s second question by using which of the following strategies?
A. Arguing in circles and not answering his question directly
B. Elucidating that any worthwhile result takes time
C. Giving him a tip on fitness
D. Indirectly hinting to him the need for being humble
E. Drawing analogy between getting results in online retail and in physical workout

Read the question stem with utmost attention!!!
While option B may be the intent that the founder wanted to convey, Option E is the strategy that he employed to convey the same.
A. Arguing in circles and not answering his question directly.
He is not arguing but is giving a similar situation, leaving the rest to fashion designer's interpretation
B. Elucidating that any worthwhile result takes time.
He didn't explain but just gave a similar situation
C. Giving him a tip on fitness.
Irrelevant and funny
D. Indirectly hinting to him the need for being humble.
Too far a subjective stretch
E. Drawing analogy between getting results in online retail and in physical workout.
Simple and exactly what the founder did
