The technological conservatism of tennis racket manufacturers is a reflection of the kinds of demand they are trying to meet. The only tennis players who are seriously interested in innovation and willing to pay for it are professional players. Therefore, innovation in tennis racket technology is limited by what authorities will accept as standard for purposes of competition in professional tennis.
Which of the following is an assumption made in drawing the conclusion above?
A. The market for cheap, traditional rackets cannot expand unless the market for technologically advanced rackets also expands.
B. Professional tennis rackets are likely to improve more as a result of technological innovations developed in small workshops than as a result of technological innovations developed in major manufacturing concerns.
C. Professional tennis players do not generate a strong demand for innovations that fall outside what is officially recognized as standard for the purposes of competition.
D. The technological conservatism of tennis racket manufacturers results primarily from their desire to manufacture a product that can be sold without being altered to suit different national markets.
E. The authorities who set standards for professional tennis rackets do not keep informed about innovative racket design.
