Organite is a kind of bioorganic fertilizer that is produced by harvesting wastewater from both households and industrial sources. The water is chemically treated at water reclamation facilities, where nutrients are extracted from the waste. These nutrients are then used to produce Organite, which has greatly decreased the need to produce synthetic nutrients. However, production of synthetic nutrients for fertilizers has increased by 60 percent over the last decade.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the apparent discrepancy?
(A) Many farmers are not convinced that products created from recycled waste can be as effective as conventional methods of fertilizing crops.
(B) The production rate of bioorganic fertilizers is significantly lower than the growth rate of the overall market for fertilizers.
(C) Bioorganic products have been proven to be more successful than synthetic products in the process of fertilization.
(D) Bioorganic materials are increasingly finding uses in processes other than agricultural fertilization.
(E) Several nutrients can be extracted from sources other than wastewater from domestic and industrial sources.

A - this could be an explanation but cant be be solved the issue - how production of synthetic nutrients has increased by 60
B - Bingo! perfect reason. Correct choice
C - cant solve the issue
D - same as C
E - extra or irrelevant info

Paradox: Even though Organite has greatly decreased the need to produce synthetic nutrients, production of synthetic nutrients for fertilizers has increased by 60 percent over the last decade.
Here, we are required to find an answer where these 2 situations can co-exist.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the apparent discrepancy?
(A) Incorrect:Many farmers are not convinced that products created from recycled waste can be as effective as conventional methods of fertilizing crops. - This answer choice does not explain the 60% increase in the production of synthetic fertilizers.
(B) Correct:The production rate of bioorganic fertilizers is significantly lower than the growth rate of the overall market for fertilizers. This is the correct answer as it explains even though Organite has greatly decreased the need to produce synthetic nutrients, the market/demand for fertilizers is growing at a much much faster rate and to full fill that demand the production rate of synthetic fertilizers is also growing.
(C) Incorrect:Bioorganic products have been proven to be more successful than synthetic products in the process of fertilization. This answer choice is irrelevant as which product is more successful is not the issue here.
(D) Incorrect:Bioorganic materials are increasingly finding uses in processes other than agricultural fertilization. This answer choice is out of scope because the passage is about bioorganic fertilizers and this choice talks about bioorganic materials.
(E) Incorrect:Several nutrients can be extracted from sources other than wastewater from domestic and industrial sources. This choice is most easy to eliminate as this talks about other sources other than wastewater to extract nutrients, irrelevant.
