GMAT Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Because of a rare type of fungus that killed off many cacao trees

The correct answer is C. The conclusion of the argument is that the price of chocolate will increase within six months. The basis for that claim is that the wholesale price of cocoa has increased. However, if the price of other ingredients in the chocolate has dropped, the decrease could offset the higher price of cocoa and render the argument invalid. The only choice to address this is C.
