GMAT Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Large national budget deficits do not cause large trade

I feel it was between the options C and E.

I negated out option E, as the word 'never' made it a very strong negative correlation. In fact the last sentence states that there is no such correlation.

If the word, 'never' was not present, then option was lucrative as well.

But clearly option C is the correct answer.
