Reading the passage
We've seen several examples of benefits reaching more people. The last paragraph now explains why that happens: businesses often need more customers to earn as much as possible, so they have a reason to make their products affordable to a larger market.
What we’re looking for
The reference to financial success belongs to that explanation. It connects the desire for profit with the broader access described earlier.
Working the answers
- A
This isn't another summary of the benefits. It explains the incentive that helps produce them.
- B
The central claim about wider benefits is already in the first paragraph. This sentence supplies a reason that supports it, rather than serving as the conclusion drawn from the examples.
- C
The writer uses the claim as part of the argument, not as an interesting speculation set apart from it.
- DCorrect
This is a causal explanation: the pursuit of financial success encourages market expansion and accessible prices, which spread technological benefits. That reinforces the opening thesis.
- E
Nothing is being conceded as a complication. The financial motive helps explain the pattern the writer is defending.
