Icecrem

Surveys consistently show that the best-selling ice cream flavor is vanilla, although those who prefer chocolate rarely order vanilla. Vanilla-flavored candy, then, probably sells better than chocolate-flavored candy.

Which of the following is an assumption upon which the author of the argument relies?

A)Because someone prefers vanilla ice cream does not mean he prefers vanilla-flavored candy.
B)Children who prefer vanilla ice cream also tend to like chocolate candy.
C)Those who prefer neither vanilla nor chocolate ice cream also prefer other flavors of candy.
D)Someone who prefers vanilla ice cream may still order chocolate on occasion.
E)Preferences for certain ice cream flavors are similar to preferences for candy flavors.

Can you guys pls explain me this with negating technique.[/spoiler]

My answer is letter "E"

I think the author trying to implicate that any food that is vanilla flavored, is more preferred than chocolate flavored foods. Is my statement supports the letter "E" argument?
