Products with innovative and appealing designs relative to competing products can often command substantially higher prices in the marketplace. Because design innovations are quickly copied by other manufacturers,
many consumer technology companies charge as much as possible for their new designs to extract as much value as possible from them. But large profits generated by the innovative designs give competitors stronger incentives to copy the designs.
Therefore, the best strategy to maximize overall profit from an innovative new design is to charge less than the greatest possible price (B) The first is a consideration that helps explain the appeal of a certain stragegy; the second presents an alternative strategy endorsed by the argument.
(C) The first is a phenomenon that justifies a specific strategy; the second is that strategy.
正确答案是C， 我选的B，思路如下：
Because分句之后接的，‘many consumer technology companies charge as much as possible for their new designs to extract as much value as possible from them’，显然是陈述了许多公司采用的一个strategy,
但作者紧接着用
but指出了这个strategy存在的一些flaw，最后给出自己认为最好的strategy。B选项刚好符合。
我承认最后作者的strategy是有base on
在第一个boldface部门，但B选项的描述感觉要更细致，准确些。
