Newspaper article: Pecan growers get a high price for their crop when pecans are comparatively scarce, but the price drops sharply when pecans are abundant. Thus, in high-yield years, growers often hold back part of their crop in refrigerated warehouses until after the following year’s harvest, hoping for higher prices then. This year’s pecan crop was the smallest in five years. It is unlikely, therefore, that any of this year’s crop will be held back.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. Each of the last two years produced record-breaking pecan yields, and an unusually high percentage of last year’s crop was held back.
B. The quality of this year’s pecan crop is typical of the quality of the pecan crops of the previous five years.
C. Because of the practice of holding back part of the crop from especially high-yield years, pecan prices have not been subject to sharp fluctuations in recent years.
D. For some pecan growers, this year’s crop was no smaller than last year’s.
E. The last time the pecan crop was as small as it was this year, the practice of holding back part of one year’s crop in anticipation of higher prices the next year had not yet become widespread.
