In choice A its written that minority of customers and not students and this creates ambiguity

Posted from my mobile device

The argument is the plan, even though will bring loss in the current year, will bring more revenue in furute.

We can strengthen The argument if we can prove that the plan will later bring in more revenue.

Option A hit the bull's eye. It says people who are 25 or older rarely change their account, meaning they keep the same account. So if the plan can bring more student customers now, these students are likely to continue their account and hence will bring in more revenue in the future.
This is subtle, but give it a thought to understand.

how can this strengthen without knowing at what age the students graduate. What if most students graduate at 22 and most of the customers change bank account between the age of 22 and 25? This is making an assumption that most students graduate after 25 or close to 25. Feels like reaching for it,

Hi, I am no Expert but let me tell you my reasoning for Selecting A

It has been told that people above 25 rarely change their accounts. So If we can enable students (note this also includes school students which are certainly aged less than 25) to open their accounts today with us they most likely will not change their account after they become older, hence the intended benefits might actually to accrue to bank in most cases.

Further, since it is difficult to get new customers above 25yrs of age today, if bank wants to improve its customer base, targeting students, significant majority of which we know are below 25 in any country, could be a good strategy.
