Nice one. IMO C. Since Costs(expenses) = Revenues-Profits, and since the costs were identical for both stands the answer automatically converges towards C. Another point to note here is the argument mentions the situation for Monday only so it becomes more likely that the assertion for the argument would be based on what concludes on Monday and would seldom be a generic one.

between C and D .. C is better ...as it is indorectly given in the question itself ... however D would be a slighlty exaggerated assertion regarding consumer liking

IMO D
C.On Monday, Daisy’s Lemonade Stand and the Lemon Shack incurred identical costs to run their businesses.
I believe C means that Daisy and Shack had similar input costs to run their business. But this should not be true. As Shack's price > Daisy's price, so Shack mush have reached the profit value by selling less than daisy.

Experts,
Isn't this question ill-framed and vague.
Clearly D is a good answer choice
It's fair to assume that since customers prefer Daisy over Shack, Daisy would sell more cups. And since Daisy sells at 20cents & Shack at 30cents, we need to show that daisy sold more to make the revenue equal.
Choice C can also be substantiated but is weaker as the costs being the same, and selling the same number of cups, Shack > Daisy.

The passage gives information about Monday’s business at two lemonade stores. The question asks us to make an assertion, or conclusion, based on the information provided. The answer choice that requires no additional assumptions will be the correct answer.
(A) This conclusion is incorrect. If Daisy’s sells its lemonade at a lower price than the Lemon Shack, and if the stores reported identical revenues for the day, then Daisy’s sold more cups of lemonade than the Lemon Shack, not less.
(B) We know nothing about the quality of lemonade at either store.
(C) CORRECT. If the stores reported identical revenues and identical profits, the profit equation Profit = Revenue – Cost tells us that their costs must have been identical as well.
(D) We know nothing about the preferences of lemonade consumers.
(E) We know nothing about the market conditions surrounding either store. Therefore, we cannot make any conclusions about what might happen if the Lemon Shack were to lower its prices. It is very possible that the Lemon Shack could in fact sell many more cups per day at lower prices, and it’s possible this could lead to higher revenues.

An inference is a statement that MUST BE TRUE, given the information in the passage. One approach is to apply the NEGATION TEST. When the correct answer is negated, the passage will be contradicted.
C, negated: On Monday, Daisy’s Lemonade Stand and the Lemon Shack incurred UNEQUAL costs. If the two stands incurred UNEQUAL costs, then the identical revenues earned at each stand would have to yield UNEQUAL profits, contradicting the given information that the two stands reported IDENTICAL profits. Since the negation of C contradicts the passage, C is a valid inference: a statement that MUST BE TRUE, given the information in the passage.
