The passage does tell us that small firms "promote international competition through newly created niches". But it does NOT tell us that an examination of those niches has provided important data for the analysis of small firms' role.
In other words, all we know about the niches is that they exist and that they promote international competition, but there's no data related to those statements. And there's certainly no mention of data that came from an examination of those niches, so (C) can be eliminated.
Choice (E), on the other hand, is directly supported by the last paragraph, so it's a much better answer.
I hope that helps!

Hi GMATNinja
I read your explanation for question-1 but I still don't get comfortable with option-D. I agree that other four options don't seem right but the passage doesn't just talk about the alternative viewpoint (small firms have an important role), it seems like the passage does more than that like traditional viewpoint and limitations of both. How can we just say that primary purpose is just to discuss the emergence of alternative viewpoint?
Is it the case that option D is not a perfect choice but best amongst the all?
Please help me with this.

All of that other stuff can be considered the context of the new, alternative viewpoint. Yes, the traditional view is discussed, but only to compare and contrast it with the alternative viewpoint. And discussing the pros and cons of the new viewpoint would, of course, fall under the umbrella of a "discussion" of the new viewpoint.
In other words, the goal isn't just to tell us that the new viewpoint EXISTS. Instead, it's to discuss the new viewpoint. That includes a comparing it to the traditional viewpoint, examining its strengths and weaknesses, and so on.
For example, even though the traditional view is explained in the first paragraph, the author's goal isn't simply to teach about the traditional view in a bubble. The author only brings up the traditional view to help explain the new view. It's not just a question of WHAT is discussed in the passage. Instead, this question is about WHY everything is there.
