OPTION A :- INCORRECT
The number of customers who use the sales force automation doesn't determine if Kravner industries should invest in the program to improve its sales.

OPTION B :- INCORRECT
The cost of the sales force automation program should also be put into consideration, but it isn't the most useful opinion that can be used to evaluate the likelihood of the plan.

OPTION C :- CORRECT
This is quite useful. Knowing the fraction of potential customers to Kravner industries customers would help them to invest in a dedicated sales force automation to improve their sales.

OPTION D :- INCORRECT
The argument already explained what the sales force automation does, which seems to be very effective, so this fact has been established in the argument.

OPTION E :- INCORRECT
This is like the most unacceptable reason why Kravner industries should also start using the sales force automation program, because it tells us nothing about the program and how effective it can be to help the Kravner industries improve their sales.
