Music creators have been strongly influenced by the demands of devout music fans who have historically purchased the majority of music labels. Normally, devoted fans crave sound complexity and lyrical genius; thus, most creators continue to produce music with complex lyrics and intricate instrument mixes. However, this is not in the industry‖s best interest. The devoted music listener market has become stagnant and will not expand in the near future. To infuse new life into the music industry, creators must simplify the form and lyrics of their music. By doing so, they can attract new listeners and influence them to join the ranks of devout fans.

(C) The first is a statement of fact that contradicts the author‖s position; the second is the author's position.
(D) The first is a situation that the author believes to be true; the second offers evidence to explain this situation.
(E) The first is a situation that the author argues should not continue; the second provides evidence that supports the author's position.

Conclusion: However, this is not in the industry's best interest.
The 1st Bold statement is the author's perspective of the music creators approach. This statement can be considered as an intermediate conclusion.
The 2nd Bold statement is the authors reasoning for the conclusion.
The BS 1 & 2 are opposite in their reasoning.
Choice analysis:
(A) The first is a statement of fact that supports the author's position; the second is a consideration that weighs against the author's position. *The first does not support author's position. The second is not against the author's view.*
(B) The first is a prediction that the author believes should not hold in this case; the second is an assumption that weighs against the author's position. *The first is not a prediction, the second is not against the author's position*
(C) The first is a statement of fact that contradicts the author's position; the second is the author's position. *The first is not a fact.*
(D) The first is a situation that the author believes to be true; the second offers evidence to explain this situation. *The author does not believe the situation*
(E) The first is a situation that the author argues should not continue; the second provides evidence that supports the author's position - *Inline with my reasoning. So, Correct.*
