A product’s design can be more valuable than the product itself. With the advent of the personal computer in the 1970s, the computer-manufacturing sector, an industry then dominated by those giants able to afford incredibly specialized knowledge and to produce equally expensive products, suddenly found its brightest lights shining in the garages of clever engineers.

Based on the information given above, which of the following was an advantage possessed by large computer manufacturers prior to the emergence of small computer-makers?

A. Their ability to produce expensive products
B. The substantial resources at their disposal
C. Their ability to adapt quickly to changes in the computer industry
D. The high quality computers they were able to produce
E. Their development of the earliest personal computer prototypes

OA: B

Why is A wrong ? It says that with all that knowledge, they were able to produce equally expensive products. So, why should we disregard this option ?

Thank You

You're right; this question makes very little sense. In fact, a quick google search reveals that this wasn't originally a CR question; it's an excerpt from an RC passage from PR.

A real GMAT question would never ask you to make such a nitpicky distinction between A and B.
