Two types of fuels, Bio X and Bio Y, both made from natural resources, are increasingly being used by vehicles around the country. Recent tests indicate that the complete combustion of a volume of Bio Y releases fewer pollutants in the air than the complete combustion of an equal volume of Bio X. Since both the government and the people of the country are determined to bring down the pollution levels in the long run, it can be expected that in 30 years from now, a significant number of cars will use only Bio Y.
Which of the following would be most useful to evaluate the argument’s conclusion?
A
Whether the vehicles that currently use Bio X can also use Bio Y
B
Whether the present day cars that run on Bio Y consume less fuel than the cars that run on Bio X to cover the same distance
C
Whether 30 years from now the manufacturers’ profit margin for cars that consume BioY will be significantly higher than the profit margin of cars that consume Bio X
D
Whether the resources used to make Bio Y are sustainable to cater to the demand of the fuel in the next thirty years and beyond
E
Whether the price of cars that run on BioY will increase in the coming years.

Answer: D.
If there aren't sufficient resources to produce Bio Y, it won't matter whether the people or the government wants to replace Bio X with Bio Y because Bio Y will not be readily available for cars to use.

Dear All
Help please.
C - Whether 30 years from now the manufacturers’ profit margin for cars that consume BioY will be significantly higher than the profit margin of cars that consume Bio X
D - Whether the resources used to make Bio Y are sustainable to cater to the demand of the fuel in the next thirty years and beyond
I chose C over D, while I did feel that D itself is strong, rationale for choosing C over D was that even if resources are available in the next 30 years to manufacture car Y, if such an enterprise is not profitable to car owners, then they may not go ahead with such plan, even if that is what people and government want.
Please can you help me with a compelling reason to choose C over D ?
