Nolutin, a new, effective heart medicine, is manufactured using oil that is obtained from a rare variety of fish called Orintok, increasing the demand for this fish. With the latest innovation in technology, Orintok can now easily be farmed if the required environmental conditions are maintained, including a set water temperature and a constant replacement of fresh water in the tanks. In fact, looking at the increased demand for this high priced fish, many fish farmers who were earlier farming Astintok fish are now planning to farm Orintok.
Which of the following, if true, provides the best reason that the increased demand for the fish is not temporary?
A. The demand for Astintok has been on the rise for the past few years and might slightly rise this year as well.
B. A synthesized, inexpensive substitute for the fish oil obtained from Orintok has not been well received in the market.
C. If most Astintok farmers choose to farm only Orintok then the supply of the fish will significantly exceed the demand for the fish.
D. Tountin, another new medicine, is also manufactured using the oil from Orintok.
E. Some physicians do not prefer prescribing Nolutin to patients because taking this medicine can slightly increase the risk of high blood pressure.

Between B & D, I choose D as in option B, it says the substitute is not well received in the market, but still we can consider the usage of the substitute which reduces some % of Nolutin.
Whereas in D, the new medicine requires the usage of fish oil.
Please correct my understanding.
Whereas in D, the new medicine requires the usage of fish oil.

B and D are my top pics, I chose B because new medicine may be replaced by something else and there is nothing mentioned about new medicine in the paragraph.
Between B & D
B. A synthesized, inexpensive substitute for the fish oil obtained from Orintok has not been well received in the market. -- CORRECT
Despite being inexpensive, this substitute has not been well received in the market. The failure of the substitute to do well in the market provides a strong reason that the fish will be the primary source to obtain the much in demand oil from.
D. Tountin, another new medicine, is also manufactured using the oil from Orintok. INCORRECT
We don’t know how successful and hence in demand this new medicine is. Hence cant say for sure.

I still have my doubt about the answer would be better letter D, but if i think further despite the another medicine, we dont know much about it demand, so better is letter B
