Fast food chains constantly face the problem of low employee retention, to counter which the companies offer high salaries. The companies have come up with the solution of hiring retired people who have a very low attrition rate. However, their time taken to service an order is more and they require going through long training programs at regular intervals. Thus, for most fast food chains the gain in employee retention does not compensate for the increase in time taken to serve each customer. Nevertheless, since the customers continue to be more appreciative when served by retired people, their employment is likely to become an industry-wide feature.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first is a consideration raised to support a conclusion, which is disputed in the argument; the second is a fact that goes against the intermediate conclusion of the argument.
B. The first is evidence used to support a conclusion that goes against the main conclusion of the argument; the second is a fact that the argument seeks to explain.
C. The first is an objection raised to a proposed solution; the second is evidence that casts doubt on the accuracy of that objection.
D. The first is a circumstance cited to support a conclusion; the second is a consideration that goes in favor of a position not supported by that conclusion.
E. The first is a judgment that supports the main conclusion drawn by the author; the second is a claim that supports the intermediate conclusion.

IMHO (D)
Contra :However, their time taken to service an order is more and they require going through long training programs at regular intervals.
Conclusion: \(Thus\), for most fast food chains the gain in employee retention does not compensate for the increase in time taken to serve each customer.
Main Conclusion : Nevertheless, since the customers continue to be more appreciative when served by retired people, their employment is likely to become an industry-wide feature.
1st sentence presents/supports the conclusion and the last sentence, considers a statement that goes against the intermediary conclusion

Can you explain why not C ?
The first is clearly an objection raised to a proposed solution (The companies have come up with the solution of hiring retired people); the second is evidence that casts doubt on the accuracy of that objection.
