Found this and many similar problems in veritas prep CAT and have a serious doubt about OA provided.
Would request experts to take a look and suggest explanation:

The metropolitan cooking academy surveyed prospective students and found that students wanted a curriculum that focused on today's healthy dining trends. In order to reverse the trend of declining interest in the school's programs, administrators propose a series of new courses focused on cooking exotic species of fish, alternative grains such as quinoa, and organically produced vegetables.

Which of the following if true,supplies the best reason to suspect that the proposed new course will increase interest in the metropolitan cooking academy?

A) cooking fish, grains, and vegetables relies on same culinary fundamentals as does the preparation of other ingredients.
B) In the food and beverage industry, many employers no longer have time to train apprentices and therefore demand basic culinary skills from their new hires.
C) Local producers in the area near the Metropolitan cooking academy are excellent sources of exotic fish and organic vegetables.
D) Many other cooking schools have found a decline in the level of interest in their program.
E) Many advocates of healthy dining stress the importance of including fish, grains and organically produced vegetables in one's diet.

What's the best approach to determine the answer? I need some experts help please?

Option A - INCORRECT.
This option has been unable to portray the interest of the student neither the school management, because cooking fish, grains, and vegetables relies on same culinary fundamentals as does the preparation of other ingredients does not mean it is going to interest the student neither is it profitable for the school too.

Option B - CORRECT.
This option best provide reasons why the students of metropolitan cooking academy will be interested in the proposed new course. Due to consistent increase in consciousness of customers requesting for healthy food, In the food and beverage industry, many employers no longer have time to train apprentices and therefore demand that students should know most of the basic culinary skills before they can be hired. However, it is reasonable if the metropolitan cooking academy should have the interest of their student in mind and also wish them to be the topmost hired in the food and beverage industry by training them on the recent request of skills needed by employees.

Option C - INCORRECT.
Because the local producers in the area near the Metropolitan cooking academy are excellent sources of exotic fish and organic vegetables does not mean that the student will interested in what they have to offer but rather on what benefit knowing them will do to their skills as a cook.

Option D - INCORRECT.
It is obvious that metropolitan cooking academy has considered the decline in many other cooking schools due to lack of student interest in their program, that is why they have thought of the students interest by providing courses that can sell the skills of the students fast in the market.

Option E - INCORRECT.
This option is also a good reason to consider on why the metropolitan cooking academy has choose to introduce the new course to their students. Many advocates of healthy dining stress the importance of including fish, grains and organically produced vegetables in one's diet and this skill has not been thought before in the academy.
