The demand for Korean horror films in America will fall considerably since American horror films are back in demand there, impacting the overall demand for Korean films. However, the American viewers’ demand for Korean films will increase again. Two years back when the American romance film genre went through a revival in popularity in America, the demand for Korean romantic films in America went down; however, the demand for Korean films has returned to its previous level since then.
Which of the following, if true, best supports the assertion that the demand for Korean films may not return to its previous level?
(A) In the past two years some very successful American Horror films were actually based on successful Korean Horror films.
(B) The Korean horror films were significantly responsible for contributing to the revival in demand for Korean films after it dropped two years back.
(C) Various surveys show that the movie business in America is almost at its peak and is likely to go down after it booms in the next one year.
(D) The demand for Korean romantic films has not decreased in the last two years.
(E) American sci-fi films have always been more popular in America than Korean or American horror films have been.

So, I'm not entirely sure, but option B seems to be the best choice here. The argument talks about how the demand for Korean romantic films went down when American romance films became popular, but then the demand for Korean films returned to its previous level. So, it's possible that Korean horror films will experience the same thing, where demand will fall when American horror films become popular, but then the demand for Korean films might come back up again. But, if option B is true, then it suggests that Korean horror films played a significant role in contributing to the revival in demand for Korean films after it dropped two years back. So, if that's the case, then it might be harder for Korean films to make a comeback if Korean horror films don't do as well as they did before.

My rationale for understanding why option B is right for the question,
2 years back as demand for Korean films went down, the revival happened because of some factor, say ‘X’. Option B suggests that Korean films revival could partially be attributed to Korean horror films creating the demand. Now that Korean horror films are out of demand we do not see any evidence in the question stem or reasonable inferences which would make us believe there might be another ‘force of revival’ for Korean films. Hence more support for ‘the demand for Korean films may not return to its previous level’
I got this wrong when I first attempted, was very hard following the reasoning provided. Hope this helps. Happy studying!
