Dear DavidTutorexamPAL
Can you please share why choice E is wrong? Can you please check my reasoning below
Choice E is maybe deceiving as other cause to the decline but it just says that people are loyal to brand so they do not change their preferences but this could mean that the firm has stable sales but it does support anything about the DECLINE and its link to the campaign. However, choice A is strong as this DECLINE happened to ALL firms in the market. So it showed that it is Significant issue in the market as happened to all firms in same time.
is this right?
Thanks
