It is generally observed that, while selecting between two identical products, consumers typically tend to go with the cheaper one. However, when it comes to luxury products, an opposite trend has been observed.

(A) The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second provides support for the main conclusion.

(B) The first provides evidence in support of the main conclusion of the argument; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.

(C) The first states an observation that the argument agrees with; the second undermines the evidence that is the basis for the agreement.

(D) The first describes a finding that is contrary to what is generally the case; the second provides an explanation for this finding.

(E) The first is a claim that has been used to support a conclusion that the argument accepts; the second is that conclusion.



First is not an evidence, we can eliminate B
second is not against the basis of first- eliminate C
second is no a conclusion - out E
between A& D - D is better than A because first is an observation or finding. hence correct choice D
