A Women's clothing is of the same quality as the men's clothing sold in the stores. Eliminated This does not explain the presence of women's clothing store in in spite of non-residence of women.
B Many women visit for extended periods of time and say it is easier to find the kind of women's fashions they need for the weather conditions in Alaska, than it is in a more southern state. Suitable This explains the reason for presence of women's store in women less towns. The visiting women can shop for suitable clothes in such towns only.
C Many women prefer current fashion trends. Eliminated This does not explain the presence of women's clothing store in in spite of non-residence of women.

Many towns in Alaska are almost completely populated by men, with very few women. However, these towns have growing businesses that provide women's fashions.
Possible reason: May be the businesses are catering to customers from outside - tourists, visitors or via online sales, exports, etc.
A Women's clothing is of the same quality as the men's clothing sold in the stores.
Doesn't explain the growing business despite low female population
B Many women visit for extended periods of time and say it is easier to find the kind of women's fashions they need for the weather conditions in Alaska, than it is in a more southern state.
This is aligned with our reasoning and explains why the businesses are growing
C Many women prefer current fashion trends.
Doesn't explain the growing business despite low female population
D The few women who do live in these towns all know each other and often shop together.
Doesn't explain the growing business despite low female population. The business is growing, even if women know each other and shop together, it doesn't mention why it's growing. one can assume that they are buying more but that's not mentioned in the stimuli
E The businesses selling women's fashions receive their merchandise from distributors outside of Alaska.
Doesn't explain the growing business despite low female population. Also, doesn't explain the growth now - may they have been doing this for 20-50years. Who knows?
