Re: Country W has banned importation of oranges from Country V [#permalink]
'B' is wrong because the demand can decrease but the increase in prices may in fact yield to higher profit. say for example, the ban led to a 5% decrease in demand but the new cost led to a 150% rise in profit, then the policy will in fact benefit farmers in 'W' and the policy will be worth it.

Eventhough I answered D. I'd still like to know about why is option B wrong.

­If the demand decreases , Prices Increase which will eventually strengthen the argument of price increase

With Option B, even if the demand has decreased it does not weaken the conclusion of the ban being a success. The difference between the profits and the increased prices could still hold the conclusion valid.
