The manufacturer of DTF claims its product reduces facial wrinkles and wishes to sell it as a pharmaceutical. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), however, has ordered lengthy and costly experiments to determine whether DTF truly reduces facial wrinkles. The manufacturer, a small cosmetics firm, lacks the resources to carry out the required research and will probably comply with less rigorous FDA regulations by labeling DTF a cosmetic.
Which of the following can be most reasonably inferred from the statements above?
A. Cosmetics are among the products not regulated by the FDA.
B. Only established pharmaceutical firms have the capital required to enter new products in the market.
C. The makers of DTF thought they would sell greater quantities of their product if it were a pharmaceutical rather than a cosmetic.
D. The FDA regulates claims made about pharmaceuticals more strictly than claims made about cosmetics.
E. DTF has very little effect, if any, on facial wrinkles and would not have received FDA approval.

Which of the following can be most reasonably inferred from the statements above?
A. Cosmetics are among the products not regulated by the FDA. - Incorrect
The last line of the paragraph indicates that cosmetics are regulated but are less rigorous.
B. Only established pharmaceutical firms have the capital required to enter new products in the market. - Incorrect
The passage only states that the manufacturer of DTF lacks the resource. We don't have enough information to generalize that only established pharmaceutical firms have enough capital to enter new products in the market.
C. The makers of DTF thought they would sell greater quantities of their product if it were a pharmaceutical rather than a cosmetic. - Incorrect
This cannot be inferred from the passage.
D. The FDA regulates claims made about pharmaceuticals more strictly than claims made about cosmetics. - correct
Clear from the last line - 'comply with less rigorous FDA regulations by labelling DTF a cosmetic'
E. DTF has very little effect, if any, on facial wrinkles and would not have received FDA approval. - incorrect
Effectiveness of DTF is not discussed.

FDA has strict regulations for pharmaceuticals compared to cosmetics. Look for an option near to this
A. Cosmetics are among the products not regulated by the FDA: It is regulated by FDA, mentioned clearly in the argument. Reject
B. Only established pharmaceutical firms have the capital required to enter new products in the market: too extreme. Reject
C. The makers of DTF thought they would sell greater quantities of their product if it were a pharmaceutical rather than a cosmetic: May be, but not sure. (let's say they thought to increase DTF price by selling it as pharmaceuticals) Reject
D. The FDA regulates claims made about pharmaceuticals more strictly than claims made about cosmetics: Correct
E. DTF has very little effect, if any, on facial wrinkles and would not have received FDA approval: No info to justify this. Reject
