From 1965 to 1988, spending on food in the United States climbed 46 percent. But over that same period, spending on food to be consumed at home - purchased mainly from supermarkets - grew by only 20 percent.
Which of the following statements about the period from 1965 to 1988 in the United States is best supported by the statements above?

(A) Spending on food increased at restaurants and other food retailers that prepare food to be consumed away from home.

(B) Shoppers spent more on certain food products to be consumed at home that are not generally available in supermarkets.

(C) Food prices at supermarkets neither rose nor dropped relative to food prices at other food retailers.
(D There was a decrease in the number of heads of households, who tend to spend more than other household members on food consumed away from home.
(E) The number of people who ate at restaurants decreased relative to the number of people who ordered take-out food from restaurants
Charged up again to beat the beast :)

"A" seems to be the most valid option as we can assume that if overall spending on food items increased 46% but spending on items consumed at home increased only 20%, then consumers must have spent more at eating outlets.

I am leaning more towards A, but I'm not sure about it.
