Telex Mobile Phone Corporation had experienced three straight years of declining market share before its CEO decided to restructure the company. The customer service department was reorganized and given a larger budget and a new management team was brought in to increase the customer experience. After a year under the new structure, Telex’s market share has begun to increase, vindicating the CEO’s decision.

In order to evaluate whether the increase in market share was due to the CEO’s decision, it would be most useful to know which of the following:

A. What portion of the mobile phone market is now controlled by Telex Corporation?
B. Have Telex’s competitors restructured their companies as well?
C. Was the decision to bring in a new management team part of the CEO’s plan?
D. Do surveys of Telex’s former customers show that most of them were dissatisfied with the service they received?
E. Has Telex launched an advertising campaign promoting its new customer service department?

Premise: TMPC's market share was declining for 3 straight years and CEO decided to restructure the company. Service department was reorganized and a new management team was brought in to increase the customer experience.

Conclusion: TMPC's share has begun to increase

What if the previous customer base was not satisfied with the services they were getting. Then the reorganization of company will make their experience better as the services were improved. Thus, it accounts for increase in customer share. The argument stands
What if the previous customer base was satisfied with the services they were getting. Then the reorganization will not make the customer experience better and it does not account for increase in customer base. The argument breaks

A. What portion of the mobile phone market is now controlled by Telex Corporation? Incorrect it does not affect the argument
B. Have Telex’s competitors restructured their companies as well? Incorrect it does not affect the argument
C. Was the decision to bring in a new management team part of the CEO’s plan? Incorrect as answer to this does not affect the argument
D. Do surveys of Telex’s former customers show that most of them were dissatisfied with the service they received? Correct
E. Has Telex launched an advertising campaign promoting its new customer service department? Incorrect

how past customers experience helpful to identify the increase of market share

option A seems to affect the argument in my opinion, what if the total market for the mobile phones decreased in the last year and there is no change in the market share of telex. this would lead to increase in the market share.
