A new computer program for three-dimensional modeling, which was meant to be the ultimate tool for product designers, was released onto the market after years of development. The program was extremely powerful, offering thousands of unique features, but most importantly it would prevent the user from rendering objects which were impossible to physically form due to illogical planes which were results of geometrical flaws in the work of the designer. The software company that created the program saw this last feature as vital in the process of product design and planned to become a leader in the market by basing a product on such a complex ability. Nevertheless, many design companies rejected the program after a few months of use, and returned to use competing products instead.
Which of the following, if true, does the most to explain why the plan failed to achieve its objective?
A.) Designers, often entering the professional field because of a love of drawing, sculpting and other physical art forms, are sometimes intimidated by or simply not attracted to using computer programs to design objects.
B.) The process of product design can vary greatly in nature depending on company and designer, and does not always entail a large amount of three-dimensional computer modeling.
C.) Many designers use three-dimensional modeling programs to express design concepts, and so need the freedom to create any unthinkable shape, even those that cannot be formed in physical reality.
D.) The software company did not take into account the fact that the design companies may not be that enthusiastic to assimilate a new program, however powerful it may be.
E.) In a feature of the program, the geometrical flaws caused by the designer could be highlighted, allowing the designer to edit the operations causing those flaws, resulting in a physically logical object.
What would be the difficulty level of this question?
Explanations are welcome!!

in these types of questions it is often helpful to put the two conflicting facts into a question of why _________________ If __________________
In this question that question would read why did design companies reject the program if it was intended to eliminate shapes that were impossible.
Looking at each of the answers only C answers this. If designers need the freedom to work with physically impossible shapes then they would not like the software.
