This question is about the discrepancy between facts given and results drawn. Here the discrepancy is in spite of the population characteristics, a certain business in that area is doing good. And question is why???

Answer should be D. If the many residents need to buy goods for their grandchiledren who stays several weeks, then regardless of the population the business can do well. So, it reconciles the discrepancy, or fills the gap.
