Option B gives a reason to believe that the newer animation tools might not actually reduce the costs thus being the weakenr for the question.

ExpertsGlobal5
Unlike older animation software, depth-sensor enabled animation tools automatically correct errors in depth perception and perspective, allowing animators to work faster and more efficiently. Thus, replacing older animation software with depth-sensor enabled animation tools will produce an immediate reduction of animation costs.

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion drawn above?

A. Animators who use both the older animation software and the newer, depth-sensor enabled animation tools report greater difficulty in transitioning from the depth-sensor enabled animation tools to the older software than from the older software to the depth-sensor enabled animation tools.
B. The more experienced and well-trained an animator is on older animation software, the more it costs to train that animator to use the newer, depth-sensor enabled animation tools.
C. The number of studios and artists that use depth-sensor enabled animation tools is increasing every year.
D. The newer, depth-sensor enabled animation tools are no more expensive to produce or acquire than the older animation software.
E. Novice animators can learn to use the depth-sensor enabled animation tools in approximately the same length of time it takes them to learn to use the older animation software.

B - The key here is "immediate reduction" in costs, while someone might be tempted (I was) to think it'd lead to a cost reduction in the long run (after training), it might not result in an immediate savings given the training costs.
