Let me clarify why Choice D doesn't work.
What we need to weaken: The down economy and not the Miami$50 website is responsible for majority of the decline in hotel room bookings.
What the correct weakener needs to convey: Miami$50 website may have been responsible for majority of the decline in hotel room bookings.
Why Choice D fails: Higher profit from renting out apartments does not indicate that the website may have been responsible for majority of the decline in hotel room bookings.
Why your reasoning is incorrect: In CR correct answers cannot be based on assumptions. A correct weakener will always weaken the conclusion.
Your reasoning here requires multiple assumptions:
* Miami$50 promoted apartments more because of higher profits
* This promotion led people to rent apartments instead of hotels
* This caused the decline
And that is why this reasoning is flawed.
Hope that answers your query.
