Hiring recently graduated job candidates as product analysts is economically advantageous to manufacturers that ordinarily use older, more experienced analysts. That is the claim of many business analysts who argue that these candidates are often most aware of recent advances in product technology, and also can be hired for less money than more experienced candidates.
The claim of the business analysts as it is presented above would be most strengthened if which of the following were true?
A. In recent years, there have been more job openings for product analysts than qualified candidates to fill the positions.
B. Those businesses with the highest percentage of recent graduates as product analysts have had lower per capita salaries and more profitable uses of new technology.
C. Undergraduate programs in fields relevant to product analysis have reported a general decline in enrollment in recent years.
D. Job candidates with more experience in the field of product analysis often have a better understanding of providing effective products within realistic budgetary constraints.
E. Due to new, inexpensive Internet-based product survey technologies, many manufacturers are no longer relying on product analysts to identify strengths and weaknesses of consumer products.

Claim of business analysts is that hiring fresh graduates in the field of product analysis is more advantageous as they are advance in the field of recent technologies and cheaper in terms of salary in comparison to more experienced analysts.
A. In recent years, there have been more job openings for product analysts than qualified candidates to fill the positions. Out of Scope because our question compares fresh graduates with experienced candidates.
B. Those businesses with the highest percentage of recent graduates as product analysts have had lower per capita salaries and more profitable uses of new technology. Correct, clearly supports author's argument.
C. Undergraduate programs in fields relevant to product analysis have reported a general decline in enrollment in recent years. Weakens the argument stating that fresh graduates are on decline.
D. Job candidates with more experience in the field of product analysis often have a better understanding of providing effective products within realistic budgetary constraints. Weakens the argument as it states that experienced candidates are better choice over the fresh graduates.
E. Due to new, inexpensive Internet-based product survey technologies, many manufacturers are no longer relying on product analysts to identify strengths and weaknesses of consumer products. Out of scope

C. Undergraduate programs in fields relevant to product analysis have reported a general decline in enrollment in recent years. --> Talks about a future trend.
D. Job candidates with more experience in the field of product analysis often have a better understanding of providing effective products within realistic budgetary constraints. --> weakens the Conclusion.
