Cable Television Executive: Our service and reliability have increased dramatically over the past year.Our customer service line is receiving 30 percent fewer reports of interrupted service, and the number of subscribers cancelling their accounts is barely half of what it was last year.
Cable Television Customer: That doesn't mean your service and reliability have improved.It's possible that customers don't bother to call your customer service line to report problems because they never get any assistance when they do.And the drop-off in the number of cancelled accounts could reflect the fact that nearly all of your dissatisfied customers have already cancelled their accounts.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A)The first is evidence designed to lead to a conclusion; the second offers further evidence in support of that conclusion.
B)The first is evidence designed to lead to a conclusion; the second offers further evidence designed to cast doubt on that conclusion.
C)The first is a conclusion;the second offers evidence in support of that conclusion.
D)The first is a conclusion;the second offers evidence designed to cast doubt on that conclusion.
E)The first is a conclusion;the second is an alternative conclusion based on the same evidence

In between D and E. I understand that the second boldface is not an alternative conclusion so E is incorrect. But its not an evidence also.Why is D preferred over E?

Cable Television Executive:Our service and reliability have increased dramatically over the past year. (conclusion#1)

I was down to D and E.. But what bothers me is that i dont find either of them correct. It is not an alternative conclusion.. right.. but it is not an evidence either .. Correct me if I am wrong.
