Both times a weak pundra made Darfir's manufactured products a bargain on world markets, and Darfir's exports were up substantially. Now some politicians are saying that, in order to cause another similarly sized increase in exports, the government should allow the pundra to become weak again.

Which of the following, if true,provides the government with the strongest grounds to doubt that the politicians' recommendation, if followed, will achieve its aim?

A. Several of the politicians now recommending that the pundra be allowed to become weak made that same recommendation before each of the last two periods of currency weakness.
this if any strethtnes the argument tht poloticians made a similar comment below and economy did improve
B. After several decades of operating well below peak capacity, Darfir's manufacturing sector is now operating at near-peak levels.
this says tht the economy is alreayd at near peak levels,so no matter wht measures are taken (weakening of pundra) it will have no effect on the economy.correct answer.
C. The economy of a country experiencing a rise in exports will become healthier only if the country's currency is strong or the rise in exports is significant.
strenghtens the claim of politicnas
D. Those countries whose manufactured products compete with Darfir's on the world market all currently have stable currencies.
doesnt make us to doubt the plotician sstatemnt.they have stable currencies and still competing, may be by declinign the currency dafir can become more comeptitive? we dnt knw
E. A sharp improvement in the efficiency of Darfir's manufacturing plants would make Darfir's products a bargain on world markets even without any weakening of the pundra relative to other currencies.
this gives an alternate plan to make darfirs products a bargain BUT dnt forget wht we are out to prove, we need to show ploticians argument is not strong, there may well be other routes via which the economy can be strong, we are not bothered.

B offers that explanation, already full economy so no point implemeting naythng.
