Because of global climate changes that caused continuing droughts in South America where most of the world’s coffee plantations are situated, less coffee has been produced and its price on the world market is now at an all-time high. Because of this, several agricultural companies in Arab countries, which specialize in rice cultivation, are going to increase their profits by cultivating coffee on some of their plantations instead of rice.
Which of the following, if true, would most likely make the agricultural companies mentioned in the argument above reconsider their plan?
(A) Most coffee consumers are willing to pay high prices for coffee only if its quality is high.
(B) Coffee plants are pollinated by certain species of insects that do not live in Arab countries.
(C) If some rice plantations will be used for coffee cultivation, then rice supply will decrease and its price will increase.
(D) The costs of growing rice are on an upward trend and are not likely to decrease.
(E) Soils in most Arab countries are very similar to soils in South America on which coffee beans are cultivated.

Which of the following, if true, would most likely make the agricultural companies mentioned in the argument above reconsider their plan?
(A) Most coffee consumers are willing to pay high prices for coffee only if its quality is high. - This might support their plan if they are able to produce high quality coffee.
(B) Coffee plants are pollinated by certain species of insects that do not live in Arab countries. - This will definitely make the agricultural companies reconsider their plan.
(C) If some rice plantations will be used for coffee cultivation, then rice supply will decrease and its price will increase. - This also supports the company's plan because now their profit margins will increase from both rice and coffee cultivation.
(D) The costs of growing rice are on an upward trend and are not likely to decrease. - This also supports the company's plan because if the costs of growing rice are on an upward trend and are not likely to decrease then their profit margins from rice cultivation will likely decrease so it might be a good idea to switch to coffee cultivation.
(E) Soils in most Arab countries are very similar to soils in South America on which coffee beans are cultivated. - This also supports their plan.
