How do i solve this CR ?
While price supports for dairy products will save jobs in the dairy industry, they will also endanger jobs in other food industries. Because price supports will make dairy products more expensive, families will spend a greater portion of their food budgets on dairy products.
The author’s argument depends on which of the following premises?
Most consumers would not prefer lower-priced dairy products to other lower-priced food items.
If dairy price supports are implemented, there will be an increase in the number of jobs in the dairy industry.
Consumers would spend more money on other types of food if there were no dairy price supports.
If price supports for other food products were implemented, sales of those products would decline.
The quantity of dairy products sold will decrease if price supports are implemented.
PR- Unable to reason the solution..

IMO C.
supports for dairy products -> dairy products more expensive -> spend a greater portion of their food budgets on dairy products
So, if there were no supports the families budget would be enough to buy other types of foods.

Option B and Option C stand close.
Option B speaks of increase in jobs compared to the "save jobs" mentioned in the passage. It thus broadens the scope.
Option C speaks of something which when not true can never lead to an increase in spending of money on dairy products. If families spend money on other foods when dairy prices are low, they would certainly spend lees when dairy prices are more. Option C should be the correct one.
