解释
Denoma, a major
consumer-electronicsmaker消费电子制造商, had a
sizable可观
decline in sales revenue for its most recent fiscal财政
year.
This result appears surprising, because electronics retailers reportthat although their overall sales were considerably lower than in the previousyear, their sales revenue from Denoma models actually grew, largely thanks tosome innovative and popular models that Denoma introduced.




Which of the following, if true, doesmost to explain the apparently surprising result?


A. Because of the need to educate the public aboutits new models’ capabilities, Denoma’s advertising spending was higher thannormal over the period.

B. For the period at issue, Denoma’s majorcompetitors reported declines in revenue that were, in percentage terms,greater than Denoma’s
C. A significant proportion of Denoma’s revenuecomes from making components for other consumer-electronics manufacturers.

D. Unlike some of its major competitors, Denoma hasno lines of business outside consumer electronics to provide revenue whenretail sales of consumer electronics are weak.

E. During the period, consumer-electronicsretailers sold remaining units of Denoma’s superseded models at prices thatwere deeply discounted from those models’ original prices.
答案为什么是C不是D呢？A也觉得像！求助！！

有点想不通了
莫非是和major competitors比，属于无关比较？
