Tirtiranium is an online clothing store whose business model is based on connecting buyers and independent garment makers in Third World countries, a process that is meant to ensure that profits go directly to the workers and not to middlemen such as retail clothing stores. However, the total profit to the garment makers is not substantially larger than if they worked in factories or sold their clothes to stores.
Which of the following, if true, does most to explain the argument above?
A) Tirtiranium offers consumers the chance to donate a few dollars to charity during checkout, in addition to each purchase, as do many other clothing stores.
B) The price consumers pay includes shipping costs, which are higher for Tirtiranium products than for clothes from a traditional retail chain.
C) Conscious consumers are often willing to pay a few extra dollars for a product that is branded as a socially responsible choice.
D) In order to incentivize them to leave factories and work with Tirtiranium, the company offers garment makers a one-time cash bonus which is equal to their monthly salary at their previous job.
E) A third of Tirtiranium’s profits are from online advertising on their site, and not from sales.

Official Explanation:
The argument states that Tirtiranium does not actually benefit garment makers, which means that either the prices are too low for them or the expenses are too high. In answer choice(B) we find what we expected to find – there are higher expenses, which make the garment makers’ profits smaller.
