Re: Sales of beauty creams increased in the early 1990s, but they began [#permalink]
Since but is in the non-underlined part of the question, the contrast or dichotomy triggered by this word must come immediately after it. In all other choices after but a whole lot of details follow except for the clear contrast of falling sales.
I could muster this much understanding so far. If someone can throw more light on why other choices are wrong it would be of great help. Between the formatting of the question is a real put off. Would request the poster to correct it.
