The sales of a product increase as the number of people who have used it increases. Sampling is a good method to increase the awareness of the products. Therefore, many energy drink manufacturers put stalls around each city they are targeting and distribute free energy drinks as each flavor is launched. Such distribution increases the demand for the new flavor, forcing competitors to come up with a similar flavor of the energy drink and reducing the overall sales and profits of that flavors. Eventually energy drink manufacturers are forced to keep producing new flavors.
In the argument above, the two portions play which of the following roles?
A) The first is a consideration raised to show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the intended effect; the second is presented to explain the appeal of that strategy.
B) The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption.
C) The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration
D) The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy.
E) The first is a principle that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument indicates may not have the desired outcome; the second presents the course of action.

Sampling is a good method to increase awareness of the products. - May not have desired outcome.
Distribute free energy drinks as each flavour is launched. - Way to do sampling.
