technological development

I narrowed down to C and B. but B is better among the two. here, it has been mentioned that when consumers hear about the new technology, they stop buying the current product, so among the answer choices b is the one that mentions that media introduces that info to the public, so people stop buying the current product.
So B is the answer.
Hope this helps!!
Nice question..

I was actually debating over B and E.
I chose B to be on the safe side.
But I am wondering if my answer choice is correct since I am unable to find a reason to disprove E.

The conclusion of this argument is,
If a company wishes to announce the upcoming sale of a new device, it should wait until purchases of the old device have begun to decline.

If consumers are not loyal to companies would they not tend to go with another company's ad stating the arrival of a new technologically advanced product and hence cause a sales-decline of the existing product?
Any thoughts?

you are thinking about two companies, which is outside the scope of the argument. here the argument is talking about only one company, whose products the customer may think of purchasing and the same company may think of announcing the arrival of a new product. so, you can safely neglect (E).

But can anyone provide some more support for (B)? the reasoning in favour of (B) is not very clear to me.

I also think B is the right answer
