We need to find what isn't favorable to the sheep ranchers.

Premise: sheep ranchers in the united states protested against the lower tariff of spring lambs being imported into the united states.

Explanation: the sheep ranchers are concerned about being forced out of business due to the lower tariff on spring lamb that would cause the market to be flooded with cheap frozen spring lambs.

Option A:- Incorrect Option
This is the belief of the economy; it doesn't seem to affect the sheep ranchers in any way.

Option B:- Incorrect Option
The sheep ranchers are not affected by the taste difference between the frozen spring lamb and fresh spring lamb.

Option C:- Incorrect Option
Well, if true, this isn't the reason for the protest led by the sheep ranchers.

Option D:- Incorrect Option
The quality of the spring lambs produced by the ranchers in the united states is not the major concern of the argument.

Option E:- Incorrect Option
If true, this gives the room for cheap frozen spring lambs to be imported into the united states, which will place the ranchers in a bad position that can force them out of business.
