This question actually resembles the idea of complementary sets to me, in the sense that given a set of only 2 different solutions ("elements") (A,B) such as If A won't be "passed " (the new legislation) we will be still able to use the other subset B to reach the possible outcome (the different labeling of the milk and thus, possibly, the protection of the customer, and incidentally so, lowering the customer base of those who use the hormone). I don't know if you get my idea.
C actually states it correctly since, given that the bill will not pass, they need to use a "complementary" measure -that is labeling "genuine milk"- (instead of labeling sinthetic-treated milk) that, nevertheless, will probably hurt those who use the hormone. Other options are basically out of scope or go too far to be considered correct.
One possible assumption that one could make is the possibility that those who use hormone could also label their milk as genuine (as some of you already pointed out), but this goes beyond the scope of this q.
I hope i was able to convey the idea. Non native speaker here

Why is D so tempting? I am trying to understand how the test writer would have come up this choice to make it attractive? Is there a common trick that GMAT uses and how we can avoid it in other similar questions? Thanks

Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the argument?
Some dairy farmers in the province of Takandia want to give their cows a synthetic hormone that increases milk production. Many Takandians, however, do not want to buy milk from cows given the synthetic hormone. For this reason Takandia’s legislature is considering a measure requiring milk from cows given the hormone to be labeled as such. Even if the measure is defeated, dairy farmers who use the hormone will probably lose customers, since __________.
(A) it has not been proven that any trace of the synthetic hormone exists in the milk of cows given the hormone - Not related to the argument. Argument is not concerned about whether any trace of hormone is visible in the milk
(B) some farmers in Takandia who plan to use the synthetic hormone will probably not do so if the measure were passed - this is not the reason of dairy farmers who use hormones losing the customers
(C) milk from cows that have not been given the synthetic hormone can be labeled as such without any legislative action - CORRECT if this milk is labelled and the milk with synthetic hormone can't be labelled, the farmers would start losing customers
(D) the legislature’s consideration of the bill has been widely publicized - We need a reason why the farmers using synthetic hormone would lose the customers
(E) milk that comes from cows given the synthetic hormone looks and tastes the same as milk from cows that have not received the hormone - if the milk tastes the same, how will the farmers using synthetic hormones lose the customers?
