Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: The growth of the market for self-portraits of 19th century artists ha

Second Bold face is neither a fact nor a premise. So, Choices A and D are wrong.

Choice C is wrong because First Bold face is a effect/result and not a cause of subsequent fact. Also, second Bold face is not deduced from these two facts.

Now, final Choices are B vs E.

Tough call but IMO, Choice E explains first Bold face better than Choice B.
