Manufacturers of coffee lighteners based on coconut oil claim that their products usually cause the typical consumer’s blood cholesterol to rise to a lower level than does the use of whole milk as a lighteners. Which one of the following, if true, provides the most support for the manufacturers’ claim?
(A) Consumers of lighteners made with coconut oil who avoid other high-cholesterol foods and exercise more than average tend to have lower-than-average blood cholesterol levels.
(B) Coffee is frequently consumed with pastries and other rich desserts that themselves result in high blood cholesterol levels.
(C) One popular nondairy coffee lightener that is not based on coconut oil has reduced its fat content by 20 percent while keeping its cholesterol content at zero.
(D) Consumers typically add to their coffee substantially smaller quantities of coconut-oil-based lighteners than of whole milk.
(E) Most consumers are convinced that whole dairy products increase blood cholesterol and that nondairy coffee lighteners do not.

IMO D

Rightly compares the coffee lightener & whole milk with their preferences

Answer should be - D as it clearly explains that why use of lighteners based on coconut oil causes the cholesterol to rise to a lower level.

Because consumers add less quantity of such lighteners.

Actually i think D weakens the argument.
If the consumers typically add smaller quantities of coconut-oil-based lighteners to their coffee, then its the low quantity, and not the product itself that causes a low rise in cholestrol.

Vikram, what is the source of the question.

Just because most consumers think that "whole dairy products increase blood cholesterol and that nondairy coffee lighteners do not" is not as convincing as option D.

What if consumers are wrong in their perception?

Most consumers are convinced that whole dairy products increase blood cholesterol and that nondairy coffee lighteners do not.
