Developers interested in attracting new business to an area should invest initial capital in construction of buildings appropriate to each site. Although purchase prices will be slightly higher, the sites will be more attractive because potential buyers will not have to spend money out of pocket to build.
Which of the following, if true, would most undermine the soundness of the suggestion that developers construct new buildings before inviting potential buyers?
(A) Construction costs in the area most attractive to new business are higher than in other parts of the city.
(B) Developers are aware of the types of business wishing to move into the area and concentrate on designing appropriate buildings.
(C) If developers do not sell every lot with a building on it, they will still be able to rent the space and regain some of their investment.
(D) Zoning regulations in some areas require that specific building materials be used, which could result in unforeseen costs for developers.
(E) Potential buyers will likely want to design their own buildings, making it unlikely that they will purchase a site on which there is an existing structure.
OA is E
This I won't agree with until an expert gives a breakdown of the OA. Thanks in anticipation.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."
"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."
"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
