Two Year ago, a court found a certain cigarette manufacturer legally liable for the deaths of several thousand people who smoked the company's cigarettes and ordered the company to pay a large sum to the families of those victims. The next year, the company's profit increased to the record levels. The lesson for other large corporations is clear: Produce products that are unsafe or unhealthy to consumers and your company will become more profitable.
Which of the following, if true, would provide the best reason for rejecting the conclusion drawn in the last sentence above?

D. The risks involved in using any product are just one of many types of factors consumers consider when buying a product.
E. Compared to cigarettes, most consumers products pose insignificant risks to the health or safety of those who use them.

I think its D
If safety is only one of the many factors of consumer choice, then producing unhealthy products will not automatically mean good sales/profit
