Despite a prominent report warning that the current demand for meat is ecologically unsustainable, few consumers planned to reduce their meat intake as a result of the report. Nevertheless, meat product sales in grocery stores fell sharply in June, one month after the report became public.
Which of the following, if true, best explains the reason for the apparent discrepancy described above?
A. The report did not bring up the ecological impact of other food products, although fruit orchards are also known to cause significant ecological damage.
B. Because ecological warnings have been growing increasingly numerous, consumers in June were indifferent to such warnings.
C. The report was publicized through print media and spread widely over the internet.
D. In June, many grocery stores reduced the number of meat products that they stock in order to show their concern regarding the environment.
E. Environmental officials did not believe that the demand for meat posed a threat to the ecology, as only the production of certain types of meat causes significant ecological damage.

Only option D talks about the possibility that the store themselves reduced the number of meat products thus reducing the amount of meat intake.
Option C cant possible be the answer because we cant challenge the premise that only few consumers reduced their intake as a result of the report, so it has to be some other reason.

report - current demand of meat is ecologically unsustainable.
but only few people planned to reduce their meat intake.
in june after one month of report, meat product sales in grocery sales fell sharply
A. The report did not bring up the ecological impact of other food products, although fruit orchards are also known to cause significant ecological damage.
but the conclusion and argument is based on meat product and its sales drop. so this has no impact whatsoever. reject.
B. Because ecological warnings have been growing increasingly numerous, consumers in June were indifferent to such warnings.
then effect should have been other way around. reject,
C. The report was publicized through print media and spread widely over the internet.
who cares about this. irrelevant.
D. In June, many grocery stores reduced the number of meat products that they stock in order to show their concern regarding the environment.
if grocery stores dont stock up the items then how the consumer are going to buy even when they want. so obviously sales are going to drop. so this resolves the paradox.
E. Environmental officials did not believe that the demand for meat posed a threat to the ecology, as only the production of certain types of meat causes significant ecological damage.
then they shouldnt have generalized in their report. but they did. so nothing much here to resolve the problem. out.
