Because postage rates are rising, Home Decorator magazine plans to maximize
its profits by reducing by one half the number of issues it publishes each
year. The quality of articles, the number of articles published per year, and
the subscription price will not change. Market research shows that neither
subscribers nor advertisers will be lost if the magazine's plan is
instituted.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest evidence that the
magazine's profits are likely to decline if the plan is instituted?
(A) With the new postage rates, a typical issue under the proposed plan would
cost about one-third more to mail than a typical current issue would.
(B) The majority of the magazine's subscribers are less concerned about a
possible reduction in the quantity of the magazine's articles than about a
possible loss of the current high quality of its articles.
(C) Many of the magazine's long-time subscribers would continue their
subscriptions even if the subscription price were increased.
(D) Most of the advertisers that purchase advertising space in the magazine
will continue to spend the same amount on advertising per issue as they have
in the past.
(E) Production costs for the magazine are expected to remain stable.
小弟對題目的翻譯：
因為郵資的上漲，Ｈ這家雜誌社藉由降低原本發行量的一半來使利潤達到最高。
其中不論是文章的品質，每年文章的發行量，和訂閱金額都不改變。
市場調查發現不論是訂閱者或是廣告商都不會因為Ｈ雜誌社實施這個plan而有所減少。
題目問:
選項中哪一個可以證明如果Ｈ雜誌社實施這個計劃將會造成利潤的減少？

不知道翻譯的對不對
不過在寫這題時搞不清楚題意所以亂選了一個答案
不過針對這題目的敘述有個問題
郵資上漲（成本增加）那為什麼降低銷售量會提高利潤？？
舉例來說 一本雜誌賣５元 原郵資是２元 發行５本 利潤是１５元
郵資上漲後 一本還是５元 郵資變成３元 如果維持原發行量（５本）利潤是１０元
更何況是降低發行量？？
