A. Hitek Appliances’s average inventory of microwave ovens awaiting shipment to retailers has dropped from 1,000 to 750 over the last year. ====> weaken the conclusion
B. Market research shows that potential customers regard Hitek Appliances’s microwave ovens to be high in quality. It's actually not relevant, and to some extend, it weakens the conclusion. Hight quality products seem to be sold easily.
C. Though Hitek Appliances’s microwave ovens are priced comparably to those of its competition, sales of Hitek Appliances’s microwave ovens have fallen in the last year. Bingo, first in the stimulus, they use the word "continuing its already extensive advertising", meaning that that strategy has not worked in the last year, but now they keep using it and hope that it will be better for this year
D. Hitek Appliances’s microwave oven is one of four brands of microwave oven that have together accounted for the majority of the last year’s increase in sales. ====> Strengthen the conclusion
E. Although it sells 95% of the microwave ovens that it produces (====> the ability to sell product has been already good by applying the ad strategy), Hitek Appliances’s share of all microwave oven sales has declined over the last year.

only relevant choices are C and E.
Option C says that prices were comparable. Assume that figures are 300 USD /ovens and it is same to all the available brands.
So, if the hitek appliances' sales fall, it should go for increasing the production. There might be the better performance of the rivals' s brand.
Whereas E says that market share of the hitek appliances of the overall sales of micro-ovens has decreased. There are possibilities of new brands that entered into the market. Doesn't hint towards the individual sales downturn.
So C is the answer.
