Plant scientists have used genetic engineering on seeds to produce crop plants that are highly resistant to insect damage. Unfortunately, the seeds themselves are quite expensive, and the plants require more fertilizer and water to grow well than normal ones. Thus, for most farmers the savings on pesticides would not compensate for the higher seed costs and the cost of additional fertilizer. However, since consumer demand for grains, fruits, and vegetables grown without the use of pesticides continues to rise, the use of genetically engineered seeds of this kind is likely to become widespread.
In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first supplies a context for the argument; the second is evidence that would, if not offset by other evidence, call the conclusion of the argument into question.
B. The first presents a situation that the argument assumes will develop in certain ways; the second is one of those ways.
C. The first introduces a development that the argument predicts will have a certain impact; the second is a consideration on which that prediction is based.
D. The first provides evidence to support a prediction defended by the argument; the second acknowledges a trend that could undermine the force of that evidence.
E. The first provides evidence to support a prediction defended by the argument; the second is that prediction.
