was a difficult question - used elimination again
First of all D and E are out , E is out becaause dosnt explain the increase in per capita expenditure , it says expensive drugs were out so according to if i can make a conclusion per capital expenditure should fall not rise
B is out because - it states pop of V has increased ? so nothing
it can lead to conclusion that consumption would increase and price is fixed hence per capital expenditure should fall not rise ( Can go in any direction hence eak argument )
We are left with A and C
C says even after the price freeze companies can maintain profit , ok
what has profit got to do with per capita expenditure nothing
Hence A
means since govt has put a restriction on price of existing drugs company would come out with new set of drugs where they can determine the price hence rise in per capita expenditure

B : strengthen
c: not related
d: not related
e: strengthen
a: weaken coz manufacturer can produce new product with high prices. so manufact..... is not increasing the price and per capita expenditure is increasing.
hence A is the answer.
