Searton is the sole manufacturer of Re-geared Display Video (RDV) disks. RDV disks can only be played on RDV players, which are essentially DVD players with RDV attachments. Between 2007 and 2009, Searton opened 500 new kiosks to sell its RDV disks. However, since the number of RDV players sold in this period (2007-2009) did not increase significantly, it is likely that the number of users who have started using RDV disks has not increased significantly.
Which of the following, if true, most weakens the above argument?
A. Many of the 500 kiosks served people who owned an RDV player but did not have access to RDV disks.
B. Most movies are now released on both RDV disks and DVDs.
C. Standard DVD players that do not have the RDV attachment are unable to decipher the content on RDV disks.
D. Searton’s sales team has a record-breaking track record as it almost always meets its targets.
E. Many existing users of RDV players prefer using RDV disks to DVDs as RDV disks offer better picture quality than DVDs.

Premise-1 Searton is the sole manufacturer of Re-geared Display Video (RDV) disks.
Premise-2 RDV disks can only be played on RDV players, which are essentially DVD players with RDV attachments.
Premise-3 Between 2007 and 2009, Searton opened 500 new kiosks to sell its RDV disks.
Counter Premise- However, since the number of RDV players sold in this period (2007-2009) did not increase significantly,
Conclusion- It is likely that the number of users who have started using RDV disks has not increased significantly.
We have to weaken this conclusion by finding an option that tells us that Numbers of users using RDV increased.
A) Many of the 500 kiosks served people who owned an RDV player but did not have access to RDV disks. Best explanation kiosks were there but disks have to be purchased to use that kiosks, so number of users using the disks is now more than before.
