Claim: the manufactures could often make more profit by not holding the promotions.

During such a promotion RETAILERs (not manufacture) tend to accumulate in their warehouses inventory bought at discount, they then sell much of it later at their regular price.  If so, a retailer can accumulate all the products it wants during the promotion and need not buy any product at regular prize from the manufacture.  Thus, the profit for the manufacture is lower than the profit could have been without the promotion.

This answer choice supports the conclusion of the argument.

但在促销期间制造商卖的货更多，如何能保证促销期的整体利润一定小于平时的呢？可能也是我理解利润有误。弄清楚这里的利润构成就都好判断了。

The focus is not during the promotion, but after the promotion. Because the retailer accumulated more products than it could sell during the promotion, then after the promotion it would order FEWER products from the manufacture for future demands from the customers.  Without the promotion, the retailer HAS to order these regular-priced products from the manufacture for customers.

解释得非常到位，但是考试的时候可能想不到那么多，对于制造商而言，就是不利的，所以是加强的

想明白了。本来利润的增加是靠促销卖的多了，但实际上卖的多的部分是retailer用来积攒库存以后卖的。所以看来全部数量并没有多卖，反而促销卖的部分的价格是低的。结果导致整体利润降低。多谢！
