At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

BurgerMan offers an assortment of packaged ready-to-eat sandwich items. This festive season it wants to add to its menu the egg-based mayonnaise sandwiches, which are considered non-vegetarian, and the vegetarian mayonnaise sandwiches, but can stock only one of the two types. Only one-third of BurgerMan's customers are vegetarians. Hence, an increase in revenue being the main motive behind the new addition to the shelves, BurgerMan should add only the egg-based mayonnaise sandwiches to its selection.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. The proportion of sales from non-vegetarian customers is almost always higher than that from the vegetarian section.
B. The cost of the non-egg mayonnaise is substantially higher due to the ingredients that have to be used instead of egg and that puts the item in the expensive category.
C. Difference in the taste of the two types of mayonnaise sandwiches being negligible, the non-vegetarian customers will go for the vegetarian ones in the absence of its non-vegetarian counterpart, but the vegetarians will never buy the egg-based ones.
D. BurgerMan stocks an assortment of sandwiches and does not anticipate any substantial increase in overall sales revenue from the new entrant.
E. A lot of people nowadays do not consider eggs a non-vegetarian product and have included it liberally in their diet.

C is clear winner, because passage states that the Burger king do have 1/3 customers as vegetarian customers, and if the administration of burger King don't consider the food preference of vegetarian customers how can they achieve their target of high revenue?
A) states the non vegetarian sales is higher than vegetarian customers sales, which is strengthening the argument, we need the weakening statement. (Incorrect)
B) is again strengthening the argument that they should use egg mayonnaise over vegetarian one because its cheaper and will generate more profits (Incorrect)
C) This is weakening the statement as the vegetarian customers will never buy egg mayonnaise sandwiches but non vegetarian customers can always consider veg mayonnaise in their sandwich because of negligible difference. (Correct)
D) States that the sandwich assortments are not increasing the revenue which is not mentioned in the passage (Out of Context)
E) States that people don't consider egg a non vegetarian substance anymore, this generalized whole customers, which is not given in the passage. (Irrelevant)
