Reading Comprehension (RC) | Re: According to the passage, companies that sell bulk chemicals, paper...

I chose option D. I originally was thinking "according to the common wants of the businesses in each segment" but then I saw "they would find themselves thinking about their customer base not as they have traditionally segmented it...but as composed of businesses that want (and are willing to pay for) quite different things." I assumed that that answer choice was a trick because it explicitly lists common wants of the business (which could be interpreted as the plain commodities they're selling). In terms of justifying my answer choice, the passage states "they would be far better off if they... embraced the notion that buyers care not only about... and their relationship with the seller." So I figured the length mattered, even though it wasn't 100% fitting, it still fit better than the "Correct" answer choice that lists the opposite of what the passage directly states.

Wondering if you have insights as to how I interpreted this question - thanks!
