There has been a sharp increase in the subscription prices of many professional and scholarly journals in the past seven years. Many publishers ascribe the necessity for these increases to the easy availability of photocopying facilities, which enable people simply to copy the articles they want rather than buying the journal.
Which of the following, if it is true, would make this explanation more plausible?
A) The great majority of professional and scholarly journals have a massive backlog of papers awaiting publication.
B) Over the past five years there has been a substantial decline in the number of individual subscriptions to professional and scholarly journals, while library subscriptions have remained fairly stable.
C) In the five years immediately preceding the price surge, there was a substantial decline in the number of individual subscriptions to professional and scholarly journals, while library subscriptions remained fairly stable.
D) Many libraries have recently begun cutting back on subscriptions to professional and scholarly journals.
E) In almost every field, several new professional and scholarly journals have begun publication in the past few years.

B it is...This option provides enough reason for us to believe that since the subscription from individuals were declining due to various reasons, the same was compensated by charging more from libraries since Library will have to take original and not photocopies.

IMO:- B
We need to explain why there has been sharp increase in prices over past 7 years.
I came down to option B & C
Option C says that 5 years immediately preceding the price surge........... But we are not bothered about preceding 5 years. We are more or less about continuous price inflation past 7 years
Option B says that In past 5 years, people are not buying individual copies but thru libraries. This scenario indicates that to minimize the loss, prices have been inflated continously.
Experts plz validate the reaoning
