Consumers planning to buy recreational equipment tend to buy higher quality,

more expensive equipment when the economy is strong than when it is

weak. Hill and Dale is a business that sells high-quality, expensive camping

and hiking equipment in Boravia. Although all the signs are that Boravia’s

economy is now entering a period of sustained strength, the managers

of the business do not expect a substantial increase in sales.

Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest

justification for the managers’ judgment?

A.     A significant proportion of Hill and Dale’s sales are made to

customers who enter the store in order to buy one particular

item but, once there, find other items to buy as well.

B.     In Boravia when the economy is strong, those who might

otherwise go camping tend to take vacations overseas.

C.     The economic upturn is likely to allow Boravia’s nati-

onal parks, where most of the camping and hiking is

done, to receive extra funding to improve their visitor facilities.

D.     Advances in materials technology have led to the

development of hiking and camping equipment that

is more comfortable and lightweight than before.

E.      Many people in Boravia not only are committed to

preserving the country’s wilderness areas but also

are interested in spending some time in them.

我觉得b是更好啊，说原来想去camp的人在经济好的时候去国外度假.

给出的答案是c,说国家公园有钱去改善他的camp 和hike设备 ,那不就削弱了原文么...不解
