Analyst Claim: The sales and pre-orders of electric cars in urban areas will significantly increase this year. The primary reason for this increase is that ongoing improvements in battery technology have substantially lowered the cost of electric cars, making them more affordable for city dwellers.
Which of the following is an assumption made in drawing the conclusion above?
By reading the argument, we can ascertain that cost is the primary factor on which the argument relies the most. Hence, we need to drawn an assumption which revolves around it.
(A) Urban infrastructure, such as charging stations, will become more widely available in city areas this year.
This has nothing to do with sales/pre order. It may occur as this will help for the cause of electric cars but we dont know if these cars will need periodic charging. So not correct.
(B) The performance of electric cars, in terms of speed and comfort, is on par with that of gasoline-powered cars.
If performance of electic cars is on par, it still doesnt provide any good incentive to increase sale/pre orders.
(C) City dwellers are primarily motivated by cost savings when choosing a vehicle.
If city dwellers are motivated by cost savings, then it does imply that the resulting cose decrease will increase the sales. Hence correct answer.
(D) The cost of gasoline will remain stable throughout the year.
Doesnt help with why would they then choose electic car.
(E) The production of electric cars will be sufficient to meet the increased consumer demand this year.
As the argument has stated for sales as well as pre booking, we dont need to account production. Not correct.

(A) Urban infrastructure, such as charging stations, will become more widely available in city areas this year.
This statement addresses a supportive condition for electric car adoption, but it does not directly relate to the assumption that lower electric car costs are driving increased sales.
(B) The performance of electric cars, in terms of speed and comfort, is on par with that of gasoline-powered cars.
While this statement is important for consumer acceptance, it is not directly related to the assumption that cost is the primary driver of increased sales.
(C) City dwellers are primarily motivated by cost savings when choosing a vehicle.
This statement directly connects to the assumption underlying the claim. If city dwellers are indeed motivated primarily by cost savings, then the lower cost of electric cars due to improved battery technology would likely lead to increased sales. If we negative this assumption the argument falls apart.
(D) The cost of gasoline will remain stable throughout the year.
This statement is about the stability of gasoline prices and does not directly relate to the assumption that lower electric car costs will increase sales.
(E) The production of electric cars will be sufficient to meet the increased consumer demand this year.
This statement is about production capacity and meeting demand, but it does not directly address the assumption that lower costs are driving increased sales.
IMO. C

The Analyst has mentioned that cars sale will be more because price is lower so he is assuming that people are only concerned with price & coz price were higher earlier so much people were hesitating to buy
