Looks like (D)

If resources become more expensive, then the overhead costs increase thereby reducing the future profit potential of the company. This could deter stockholders from buying future shares.

D as well.

If the company's raw materials will be expensive in the future then it gives reasons for investors to hammer the stock price and so that the IPO will open at a premium is not guarunteed.

I have a problem with D but C is not partcularly goood as well

D says cost side will increase- take oil for example raw material is expensive but oil companies are making a killing.

also we know raw material prices could go up within next month but may come down 3 months later
thus kicking the stock up

what is the source please?

D offsets the effect stock-rise due to increases profits by indicating that profits will go down because of increased prices of raw material..

A weaken the argument
B could be
C Strenghten the argument
D Could be
E out of scope

my choice is down to B and D giving then a closer look B does not really help us just describe a trend while D give us reason for an eventual price drop
