The key is the researchers are not comparing ALL items the FB has to the SK.
They are ONLY comparing items that were bought by the random shoppers.

These items could be frequent items and are cheaper at FB.

'a' is the answer.

should be A.

FoodBasket supermarket cost 5% less than ShopperKing supermarket but the shoppers will not save money by shopping at FodBasket because shoppers who shop regularly at a supermarket are given discount and in this case the shoppers were picked at random.

We are trying to prove that ShopperKing's shoppers won't save money by shopping at FoodBasket.
So factors other than price are irrelevant
