Shopping in person is an activity that many people loathe. This accounts for the popularity of online shopping, which has few of the hassles of in-person shopping. Online shoppers are able to avoid lines, traffic, and having to hunt around the store for the items they need. With a few keystrokes and a credit card, they can accomplish a task in a few minutes that might have taken hours in "real life."

A. It is a premise supported by the claim that online shoppers can accomplish their task quickly with a few keystrokes and a credit card.
B. It is a conclusion supported by the premise that online shopping is becoming increasingly popular.
C. It is a generalization which is based on the premise that in-person shopping takes considerably more time to accomplish than online shopping.
D. It is a premise given as a reason for the conclusion that online shopping is popular.
E. It is a conclusion supported by evidence of the hassles of in-person shopping in comparison to online shopping.
