Melvin's Electronics sells audio equipment and faces stiff competition from the big box store Gigamart. Wholesale products make up 45% of total costs for both stores. Melvin's Electronics is constantly seeking to gain a competitive advantage. Therefore, they should consider switching to a cheaper wholesaler.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument above?
(A) Because their workers are heavily unionized, Melvin's Electronics cannot cut wages or lay off workers.
(B) The products distributed by the cheaper wholesaler are inferior in quality and would lead to reduced sales.
(C) Melvin's Electronics has lost over 25% of its business to Gigamart in the past year.
(D) Melvin's Electronics currently pays approximately 15% more for its wholesale products than Gigamart does.
(E) Many electronics retailers are located a great distance away from the factories that produce their wholesale products.
