C. ConsultPro focuses more on cutting costs than on increasing sales.
D. ConsultPro is selective, in that it selects only those clients that have growth potential
E. All the consultants at McKinLey & Co, a rival of ConsultPro, are qualified MBAs, whereas only half of the consultants of the latter hold MBA degrees.

Pre-thinking The claim made by Advertisement of ConsultPro states of its clients that have registered a business growth of more than 100% in the past decade, Hence if any company wishes to achieve assured growth, it should register ConsultPro. No additional details have been shared regarding the claim ConsultPro makes. Also, we cannot generalize that whatever growth the current clients have experienced will also be experienced by the future clients of ConsultPro.
What if the current client's growth is due to some other factors such as investments that have yielded high returns, the current clients are on a technology that has seen huge demands, the current clients are from a single sector which has seen unprecedented growth in the last decade etc.
A. ConsultPro is just one of the many management consultancy firms that make such claims to gain more clients
We cannot cast a doubt on the conclusion of the passage. Hence this option is incorrect.
B. All the clients of ConsultPro are from the Crypto sector that has seen unprecedented growth in the past decade with every firm in the sector more than doubling its revenue
This option is inline with our pre thinking. The growth experienced by the current clients of ConsultPro was not due their association with the firm but due to the growth of the crypto sector. Hence, this weakens the claim that ConsultPro makes in the advertisement.
C. ConsultPro focuses more on cutting costs than on increasing sales.
How does ConsultPro results in the business growth of its clients is not the point of the argument. Hence this is out of scope.
D. ConsultPro is selective, in that it selects only those clients that have growth potential
While this option seems tempting, the option does support the claims made by ConsultPro. If ConsultPro only works with clients with visible growth potential the clients do register business growth. Hence this is narrow scoped.
E. All the consultants at McKinLey & Co, a rival of ConsultPro, are qualified MBAs, whereas only half of the consultants of the latter hold MBA degrees.
Totally out of scope. Degree of competitor firms has no bearing on the claim ConsultPro makes.
IMO B

Prethinking: It could be other factors rather than ConsultPro that bring growth to businesses.
A. ConsultPro is just one of the many management consultancy firms that make such claims to gain more clients
We don't know whether the claims made by ConsultPro or any other consultancy firms is truthful. ConsultPro's claim could be true based on their real performance, and others' claim to be false. But it can be the other way, too.
B. All the clients of ConsultPro are from the Crypto sector that has seen unprecedented growth in the past decade with every firm in the sector more than doubling its revenue
It matches my prethinking that business growth is due to other factors, i.e. environment opportunities, instead of ConsultPro's affection, which weaken the ad's claim.
C. ConsultPro focuses more on cutting costs than on increasing sales.
This argument may be accounted for ConsultPro's growth, but has no relation to their business clients' growth or decline.
D. ConsultPro is selective, in that it selects only those clients that have growth potential
Clients' growth potential don't assure their growth in the future. Hence ConsultPro's past selections may not assure its present great performance.
E. All the consultants at McKinLey & Co, a rival of ConsultPro, are qualified MBAs, whereas only half of the consultants of the latter hold MBA degrees.
Consultants' qualifications don't say all about their potentials and abilities. Furthermore, ConsultPro could have their own secret strategies independent from their personnel resource.
