Despite the approach of winter, oil prices to industrial customers are exceptionally low this year and likely to remain so. Therefore, unless the winter is especially severe, the price of natural gas to industrial customers is also likely to remain low.
Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the conclusion above?
(A) Long-term weather forecasts predict a mild winter.
(B) The industrial users who consume most natural gas can quickly and cheaply switch to using oil instead.
(C) The largest sources of supply for both oil and natural gas are in subtropical regions unlikely to be affected by winter weather.
(D) The fuel requirements of industrial users of natural gas are not seriously affected by the weather.
(E) Oil distribution is more likely to be affected by severe winter weather than is the distribution of natural gas.
Helppppppppppppppppp

Stimulus says
Winter is coming, but oil prices are likely to remain low
Unless winter is severe, natural gas prices will also stay low.
(A) Long-term weather forecasts predict a mild winter.
Does not establish relation ship between weather, oil and Natural gas
(B) The industrial users who consume most natural gas can quickly and cheaply switch to using oil instead.
Talks about the adaptability of industrial users but does not help establish the conclusion that natural gas will remain less expensive
(C) The largest sources of supply for both oil and natural gas are in subtropical regions unlikely to be affected by winter weather.
Talks about sources and the winter weather there. We dont know where the source is and how bad the winter is there
(D) The fuel requirements of industrial users of natural gas are not seriously affected by the weather.
talks about requirements not changing. Does not establish the link between the three
(E) Oil distribution is more likely to be affected by severe winter weather than is the distribution of natural gas.
If oil distribution is more likely to be affected by severe weather than Natural gas distribution and oil prices will remain low, there are pretty good chances that Natural gas prices will remain low as that process does not suffer as much as oil does because of the inclement weather
My answer E
