ToppKleen, a new cleaning material, will soon be released onto the market. The product has a special molecular composition that allows it to clean without the use of water, and with perfect results. ToppKleen will achieve more than satisfactory sales figures because it will be used by consumers to clean every household object.
Which of the following, if true, undermines the explanation for ToppKleen's predicted success?
A) To increase sales, some cleaning product companies use celebrities to market their products.
B) Advancements made in the field of molecular science are partly due to the invention of powerful microscopes.
C) The specialization of plastics has resulted in household products being produced from a variety of substances, each reacting differently to a certain cleaning material.
D) Cleaning materials always contain potent chemicals, and should be kept out of the reach of children.
E) ToppKleen is engineered to attack the dirt alone, making the material of the object being cleaned irrelevant to the cleaning process.

Option A :- Incorrect
Whether or not celebrities are used in promoting sales is not the bone of contention here, the special cleaning characteristics of the product is the selling point as identified by the sellers.
Option B :- Incorrect
The explanation presented has got nothing to do with science discoveries, instead it capitalizes on the marketing strategies that will give this new product the market relevance needed for sale.
Option C :- correct
This feature present in this option is is what differentiated the product and its the selling point of the product, but this does not add a serious value to the product sale, additionally the question does not present anything around plastic , hence it is far from the center of success.
Option D :- Incorrect
This factor does not address the consumer's need.
Option E :- Incorrect
This strongly supports the science behind the creation of new product and this shows a solid support towards the materialization of Topkleen's predicted success.
