The leading manufacturer of bottled sauces has announced that it intends to introduce a new line of sauces that will be condensed by a factor of three to one. The condensed sauces will be marketed as pro-environment since the manufacturer will be able to reduce the amount of packaging required for an equivalent amount of non-condensed sauce. The manufacturer also claims that it will also be able to reduce the amount of packaging required to ship the sauce, and correspondingly reduce the energy consumed to transport the sauce to supermarkets since the condensed sauces will be lighter per unit. Many market analysts believe that the new condensed sauces could become more popular than the older, non-condensed sauces.
Which one of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction made by the market analysts?
A. Consumers, in general, are guided by environmental considerations when making a purchase decision about a sauce.
B. Supermarkets will give the condensed sauces the same degree of visibility on shelves as they do the traditional, non-condensed sauces.
C. Some analysts estimate that consumers of the condensed sauces may end up paying more per unit of sauce consumed than they would have for non-condensed sauces.
D. Consumer research shows that consumers might be initially reluctant to purchase the condensed sauces.
E. Other sauce manufacturers are unlikely to respond with their own condensed sauces any time soon.

In some questions in the past, there were numerous solutions that strengthen or weaken the argument. The trouble was picking the BEST one. In this case, I only see one that truly strengthens the argument.

Does not make a difference since the degree of visibility would be the same.
C. Some analysts estimate that consumers of the condensed sauces may end up paying more per unit of sauce consumed than they would have for non-condensed sauces.
Weakens the argument if anything.
D. Consumer research shows that consumers might be initially reluctant to purchase the condensed sauces.
Weakens.
E. Other sauce manufacturers are unlikely to respond with their own condensed sauces any time soon.
Close contender. But it does not say that the competitors will not respond with their own condensed sauces at all. So it does not strengthen the argument.
A strengthens it because the main value that the sauce adds is that it is environment friendly. Can be confirmed with the Negation Technique
