Official Explanation

The argument suggests that the company’s improved profitability the year after the court judgment was attributable to that judgment. However, the mere fact that one event follows the other does not necessarily mean that it was caused by the other event.

Choice (D) points out this critical flaw in the argument by recognizing that consumer buying decisions and, in turn, the profitability of product manufacturers, can depend on a variety of possible factors.

The correct answer is (D).
