Not all successful product launches depend on filling an existing consumer need. Some successful products appeal not to necessity, but to whimsy—like the Pet Rock or the Slinky—and others are compelling to consumers merely because of the status they offer—like designer handbags
Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the statements to the left, assuming that those statements are true?
A. Commercial success can come from designing an appealing toy.
B: Designer goods are often a profitable venture, assuming that the label has some cachet built in.
C: A thorough examination of a product’s commercial viability must take into account several different factors.
D: Another commercially viable product was the robot vacuum cleaner.
E: Many of the best-established designers actually license out their names for use on product lines in which they do not personally participate.

Since this is an inference question, the correct answer choice must fulfill the condition that it is fully supported by the stimulus. What can we infer from the stimulus?
1. Some successful product launches depend on fulfilling existing consumer need.
2. Some of them appeal to whimsy instead of necessity.
3. Some of them are appealing for the status they offer
Now let's look at the answer choices.
