During the past year, Pro-Tect Insurance Company’s total payouts on car-theft claims were larger than the company can afford to sustain. Pro-Tect cannot reduce the number of car-theft policies it carries, so it cannot protect itself against continued large payouts that way. Therefore, Pro-Tect has decided to offer a discount to holders of car-theft policies whose cars have antitheft devices. Many policyholders will respond to the discount by installing antitheft devices, since the amount of the discount will within two years typically more than cover the cost of installation. Thus, because cars with antitheft devices are rarely stolen, Pro-Tect’s plan is likely to reduce its annual payouts.

E. The first presents a circumstance whose explanation is the issue the argument addresses; the second is an explanation that the argument rejects.

Key to getting this question correct is noting the subtle difference between what (C) describes and what the second boldfaced portion does.
(C) says that the second boldfaced portion states "a conclusion that the argument draws." However, the truth is that the second boldfaced portion doesn't present a conclusion of the argument. Rather, it presents a plan that the "Pro-Tech" has decided to implement.
