We need to find a statement, that casts doubt on the CEO's plan.
CEO's plan: Proposes to increase production of Digicam products because number of digital cameras sold in the past year increased dramatically.
A. As a percentage of digital cameras sold, Digicam’s market share decreased over the past twelve months. - incorrect
Market share can decrease even when the sale of Digicam products has increased. (When the percentage increase in sale of digital cameras of other cameras companies increase more than the percentage increase of Digicam digital cameras)
B. The lag time between production and shipment of Digicams has decreased during the last twelve months. - Incorrect
It doesn't cast a doubt on CEO's plan. This only lets us know that the products may be available to the consumers a bit earlier than previous 12 months.
C. Celebrity endorsements have increased Digicam’s brand recognition, but not awareness of the parent corporation. - Incorrect
Since brand recognition has increased, there may be chances that the products of digicams may have also increased. This doesn't cast a doubt on CEO's plan of increasing production.
D. Digicam is one of the brands most responsible for the increase in digital camera sales during the last twelve months. - Incorrect
This actually supports the CEO's plan.
E. Sales of Digicam decreased during the last twelve months, despite widespread distribution of coupons in stores and newspapers and on the Internet. - Correct
This correctly casts a doubt on CEO's plan. Since the sales have decreased, the increase in the sale of digital cameras was due to sale of digital cameras of other companies and thus doesn't call for an increase in production of Digicam products.

In my opinion, the CEOs plan is to increase production of digicam products. So we need to find something that says 'Production capacity wont increase'.
The OA answers for the fact that sale of digicam product may not increase.
I feel the the solution answers for something completely different from what question asks.
I feel this question is poorly drafted.
