Many farmers in the United States are turning away from synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, whose costs are rising rapidly, and choosing systems of organic farming designed to replenish nutrients in the soil. Studies indicate that although in some instances crop yields are lower in the years immediately after a farmer converts from a chemical to an organic system, the farmer's net income in each of those years is nevertheless likely to be higher.
Which of the following, if true, would help explain why the farmer's annual net income is likely to be higher following conversion to an organic system?
(A) The most successful systems of organic farming are intended to ensure the continued productivity of farmland.
(B) The amount of money the farmer loses by reducing crop yield is generally less than the amount the farmer saves in production costs by switching from chemical farming to an organic system.
(C) Farmers for whom environmental concerns are paramount are willing to take financial losses to avoid synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
(D) By growing nitrogen-fixing plants alongside a cash crop over a period of years, a farmer can usually increase crop yield dramatically.
(E) Many farmers who have purchased equipment used in chemical farming feel that they have irrevocably committed themselves to use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Option B can be clearly inferred
Option C,D & E are outside information and are out information that is out of the passage
Option A is too generic an explanation and not answering the question properly
With the POE, option B is the right option
