What if better equipment increases demand even further as it can grind more cocoa, why is option B eliminated?
This question is not written ideally since (B) could arguably be taken as providing additional support for the conclusion.
However, we can choose (C) over (B) because the passage already mentions that "In the first quarter, grinding of cocoa beans—the first stage in processing cocoa for chocolate—rose 8.1 percent in Europe and 16 percent in North America," which basically accounts for any change in demand resulting from an increase in processing capacity.
So, given that the passage says that, choice (B) does not add an additional factor that could drive demand since that factor has already been accounted for in another way.
