The technical sophistication of fishing equipment increased steadily from 1955 through 2000, which enabled the fishing industry to harvest a greater percentage of the total amount of fish, by weight, in the world's oceans in each succeeding year during that time. The fishing industry's harvest, by weight, increased steadily from 1955 until 1990 but did not increase after 1990.
If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true?
A) After 1990, the number of fish harvested each year by the fishing industry increased, but the average weight of each fish harvested decreased
B) After 2000, improvements in fishing equipment did not enable the fishing industry to harvest a greater percentage of the total amount of fish, by weight, in the world's ocean
C) The fishing industry's harvest, by weight, was significantly lower in 2000 than it was in 1990
D) No significant improvements in fishing equipment occurred before 1955.
E) The total amount of fish, by weight, in the world's ocean decreased during the period from 1990 through 2000

Chose A because others are either irrelevant or have diverted focal point.
What's the source..??

I chose A.
B&D out since the passage no where talks or provides info about periods prior to 1955 or after 2000.
C out since the passage states that the harvest after 1990 did not increase but that does not imply it decreased.
E out since there is nothing in the passage to suggest that the percentage harvest increased only due to reduction in total amount of fish in the ocean.
It can be very well possible that harvesting growth rates outstripped the growth in total amount of fish in the oceans thus leading to a plateau in the overall catchment after a point of time (and passage suggests the same that increase in harvest did not occur after 1990)
I didn't find any strong reason to accept A either.
Quite confused about this question. Experts help please!
