Critical Reasoning (CR) | In Wakanda, the amount of vibranium retrieved every year is just large

In Wakanda, the amount of vibranium retrieved every year is just large enough to satisfy the demand of its national weapons industry. Wakanda's mining productivity will not increase in the foreseeable future, nor will new vibranium mines be discovered. Wakanda's weapons industry, however, will be increasingly significant as new companies enter the market. Clearly, Wakanda will soon need to import vibranium.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

(A) No new technologies to economize vibranium will be implemented by weapon manufacturers in Wakanda.
(B) Not all vibranium currently mined-out in Wakanda is of industrial grade.
(C) None of the vibranium mines in Wakanda are exceptionally high-yielding.
(D) There are no other industries in Wakanda that will not increase.
(E) There are no other major metals in Wakanda for which the supply and demand are currently inbalance.
