Answer is D.

Although I still don't see it. "The number of varieties" means how many different varieties this dog food has. The first guy says that fewer of this number will hurt the sales. The second guy says that there is no correlation between this number and sales. Meaning that either a decrease or an increase in this number will have no effect on the sales.


Anybody care to explain further please?

I pick D.

My system: I was looking for an answer that weakens the analyst argument that connects the number of varieties to sales. D is the only one that speaks of the varieties. See below.

a) Is too broad. What statistics?
b) Maybe...
c) Totally out of scope.. they are trying to get you
d) YES. They talk about the number of varieties.. but most importantly shows the weakness by saying that the analyst should have addressed the decreases in the number of varieties.
e) ingredients is out of scope
