AndrewN can you please shed some light on why answer choice C doesn't work here? While we are not concerned with revenues, they are a product of sales. But one weakness that I see with choice C is that we don't know what are the motivations behind the company's plan to encourages sales of its premium service.
I spent four minutes on this question even though I could see how A works nicely. I was trying to find four incorrect answer choices. As a result, I must have read choice C at least 6-7 times because I wasn't getting it. What would you suggest in such situations when we see a choice works nicely, we are beyond the time limit for a question, and that we aren't sure that we will be able to understand a choice even after spending more time on it? Choose the one that we think works nicely and move on?
Thank you!

You are correct, CrushTHYGMAT, that, in your words, we don't know what are the motivations behind the company's plan, because the passage does not tell us. I think the Most Helpful Community Reply does a fine job succinctly explaining why (C) is not a required assumption.
To address your other query, you do not have to find four incorrect answer choices if one clearcut winner is staring you in the face. Just pick that one and move on. In fact, I sometimes encourage people to pretend there is a large black box covering one of the answer choices. With an option completely obscured, you would be forced to rely on your own reasoning to make an informed decision on whether the answer was shown or was the one hidden by the black box. I will show you what I mean, using my own timer result from November. (For some reason, this question just clicked for me. Assumptions are one of my stronger suits.)

AndrewN, thank you for taking time to write a comprehensive reply. I understand, why in some questions, it is better to walk away without having four incorrect answer choices.
I will apply the strategy that you have mentioned. I understand that the strategy relies on a candidate's skill of applying solid logic to see why an answer choice works. If you can apply the logic that GMAT requires, the strategy will produce great results.
Thank you, hope you have a great time!
