Very clearly A as author says "However, this move is rarely good from a business perspective." But gives one example. So he is generalizing based on one example if you get it.

­A seems incorrect as in the passage it is more of an example rather than the author being focusing his entire case on just a single observation
­The trouble is that the author uses this one case to conclude that a strategy is "rarely good." Sure, maybe there are many examples they could have chosen, but they don't share that or provide any other evidence for the conclusion. In CR, we accept the premises on faith, but not the conclusions. Any new ideas, such as "rarely good," that aren't strictly supported by the premises represent holes in the argument.

Eliminations:

B) infers that a product will be disliked by the public merely from the claim that the product was disliked by critics
The argument doesn't infer that the product will be disliked by the public. It presents a premise stating that the product was in fact disliked.

C) restates as a conclusion a claim earlier presented as evidence for that conclusion
No such repetition occurs. The author states the conclusion ("this move is rarely good"), and then presents one specific case to support it. No further claims (statements of opinion) are made.

D) takes for granted that products with similar content that are in different media will be of roughly equal popularity
The argument doesn't rely on anything about equal popularity across media. On the contrary, it shows that a video game (a product in one medium) can be much more popular than its movie adaptation (a similar product in another medium).

E) treats a requirement for a product to be popular as something that ensures that a product will be popular­
There's no mention of any requirement for popularity, nor of any way to ensure that something is popular. The argument is talking about how movie adaptations may fail to help a franchise's popularity, not about how things become popular.
