Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?

Twenty percent of the stores in Morganville's downtown shopping district will fail within five years because they will be competing directly with the SaveMart discount department store newly opened in East Morganville.The downtown shopping district has lost business at this rate before and has always completely rebounded.Confidence that it will rebound again from the losses it is now about to suffer is ill founded, however, because __________.

A. the stores likely to be put out of business by direct competition from SaveMart are the downtown shopping district's anchor stores, on whose ability to draw shoppers many of the other downtown stores depend

B. the bus line that has long connected the downtown area of Morganville with East Morganville has a tradition of carrying shoppers who reside in East Morganville into downtown Morganville to shop

C. when the downtown shopping district has rebounded before, the business premises of a failed business were typically taken over by a business of the same kind as had been there before

D. SaveMart's business plan for the East Morganville store is based on earning low profits, if any, during the first five years of the store's existence

E. it is conceivable that the downtown shopping district could shrink substantially without collapsing altogether

选A。我想选择C。

文章意思：20%的商店在M的市区在五年内会失败，因为它们要和东边的SM廉价商店直接竞争。市区店在这之前……

A的意思是会失败的商店就是市区的最有竞争力的商店。

C的意思是之所以能反弹是因为类型一样。——>这里不是换成了discount的店了么~类型问题？

C选项有个逻辑的缺陷：之前是一些店被同类型的店挤垮从而形成rebound现象，但是并不表示换了个不同类型的竞争对手就无法rebound了，比如开一些店经营SM不涉及的领域，照样可以获得很滋润。

相比之下，A是一个很严重的打击，因为客流量少了，自然整体经营情况会大大缩水。这就是传说中沃尔玛的“五公里死亡圈”效应。
