Which of the following, if true, best reconciles the seeming paradox described above?

A. The two leading retailers of children's bicycles in Tooten County spend more than half of their marketing budget on attracting residents of neighboring counties.
B. A local manufacturer of children's bicycles has just announced that national sales are up 20% over last year.
C. Retail outlets in Tooten County import the majority of their children's bicycles from Canada.
D. Elementary schools in Tooten County have been criticized for failing to promote the benefits of exercise to their students.
E. Residents of Tooten County rent children's bicycles at about the same rate as residents of other counties in the nation.

We are told that lower percentage of young families but high sales of kid's cycles.

Let's us think some probable assumption.

1. What if these young families gift bicycles to others ( This shows that they won't prefer other gifts as options :lol: )
2. They manufacture best cycles in the nation.

Option A is some what close to our thinking. Other options are out of scope.

There is lower proportion of young families, but bicycles are sold more than nation's average. The choice A explains why bicycles are sold more in the county.
