As per the analyst electric cars being affordable will be the reason for increased demand.
So assumption must be related to affordability.
Let's analyze the options:
(A) Urban infrastructure, such as charging stations, will become more widely available in city areas this year.
(B) The performance of electric cars, in terms of speed and comfort, is on par with that of gasoline-powered cars.
(E) The production of electric cars will be sufficient to meet the increased consumer demand this year.
These Three options are not relevant to the argument presented by the analyst.
(D) The cost of gasoline will remain stable throughout the year.
Price point is added, but it is not compared with resepect to affordability of electric cars.
(C) City dwellers are primarily motivated by cost savings when choosing a vehicle.
Spot on, the assumption behind the analyst's argument is directly mentioned.
Correct Option: C

For an assumption question, we need to connect the evidence with the conclusion.
Conclusion: sales and pre order of electric car will increase sinificantly this year.
Evidence: the improvements in battery technology will lower the cost of the car, thus making them more afordable.
Prediction: cost is the only variable it matters when choosing a car.
A --> Irrelevant, it does not connect the evidence with the conclusion
B --> Irrelevant
C --> correct answer, because it says that cost is the only thing that matters.
D --> Gasoline is a new irrelevant concept
E --> Irrlevant
Answer is C

(A) Urban infrastructure, such as charging stations, will become more widely available in city areas this year. - charging station not mentioned/relevant to argument.
(B) The performance of electric cars, in terms of speed and comfort, is on par with that of gasoline-powered cars. - performance not mentioned/relevant to argument.
(C) City dwellers are primarily motivated by cost savings when choosing a vehicle. -> argument talks about lowered costs making them affordable. Implies cost is a factor. Correct
(D) The cost of gasoline will remain stable throughout the year. -> Makes no difference to argument, does it make electrical cars a better option ? or is gas very cheap already ?
(E) The production of electric cars will be sufficient to meet the increased consumer demand this year. -> pre-orders are included so production is not relevant.
