@All.
Here, ONLY A will follow because we don't know anything about the past price of the product. It might be possible that the past price would have been decent still there were no sales. But reducing the price now, we cannot ascertain whether the sale will increase or not.

I think both of them follows as the company cannot sell its products without studying rival products. Increasing quality and decreasing price can help increasing sale.

D. Because the company needs to first study it's own products before studying the performance of rival products, the product may not be always losing on terms of superior quality it may also lose because of defects/bugs/glitches.

Here the rule does not choose the action if we cannot predict the outcome that means if we take option B it may or may not increase the sales that mean we can't say definitely that's why Option B doesn't follow.

I think both the options are correct because they need to find the reason as to why their sale is low as compared to rival products and also price should be kept low with better quality. They also need to find the method which the rival firms are using to increase their sale.

Both options are true. Option B is also valid.
Anyone Rectify it.

The answer is correct because there is a possibility that sales has fallen because of no more need of the product, it is not always quality and price, need too must be checked!

I also think that both the argument follow. The only possible reason which I can think of due to which II does not follow is: Improving quality is proportional to the price. So, improving quality and reducing price do not go hand in hand.

The answer should be E.
As according to the law of demand, if we increase the price, the demand falls. Here in this situation if the price is reduced, demand would be higher likewise the sale of the product.

I think both are correct because price and quality also matter a lot.
