Directions to Solve

Read the paragraph carefully and determine the main point the author is trying to make. What conclusion can be drawn from the argument? Each paragraph is followed by five statements.One statement supports the author's argument better than the others do.

5. 

In the past, consumers would rarely walk into an ice cream store and order low-fat ice cream. But that isn't the case today. An increasing health consciousness combined with a much bigger selection of tasty low-fat foods in all categories has made low-fat ice cream a very profitable item for ice cream store owners.
This paragraph best supports the statement that
[A]. low-fat ice cream produces more revenue than other low-fat foods.
[B]. ice cream store owners would be better off carrying only low-fat ice cream.
[C]. ice cream store owners no longer think that low-fat ice cream is an unpopular item.
[D]. low-fat ice cream is more popular than other kinds of ice cream.
[E]. consumers are fickle and it is impossible to please them

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

This choice is supported as the best answer because the paragraph indicates that low-fat ice cream was once an unpopular item, but now, because consumers are more health conscious and because there is a wider array of tasty low-fat foods, low-fat ice cream is a profitable item for ice cream store owners. There is no indication that choices a, b, d,or e are true based on the information given.

I think 'd' is also supported by the paragraph.

Any thing is demanded in the market means it is popular and people are liking it. So I also think 'd' is right is correct answer.

No here they don't mention its a popular one or unpopular. Only said about the owner and customer interest in ice creams and why it is popular means because of low fat.
