Sorry, clarification on why B is irrelevant because I'm not sure I was fully clear in my explanation - "inexpensive produce starting to become available" does not necessarily mean that produce was inexpensive out the gate. Produce could have still been wicked high in price, and they were just starting to get something like cheap zucchini or something. We don't know enough for this to actually weaken the correlation happening in the past year. (7sage instructors, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

#feedback the written explanation/analysis under the light bulb icon for B is incorrect. It claims the answer states that "10 years ago, produce was cheaper and gardens were smaller. Now, produce is more expensive and gardens are larger." This is a misread of the answer choice - the answer choice is saying that gardens used to be larger decades ago when produce was cheaper.

(Speaking from direct experience) a student could take the answer choice and think "oh, if gardens were larger when produce was cheaper, and they are smaller in comparison now when produce is more expensive, then it's unlikely that the price of produce has an effect on the planting of personal gardens." However, this historical context is irrelevant in this situation. We are simply looking at last year's produce prices and seed sales versus this year's produce prices and seed sales - and trying to find an alternative explanation for this spike in seed sales (which E provides) or something that weakens the correlation (my prediction, though I'm not sure if it holds any water, was something along the lines of "produce prices rose more two years ago and seed sales of these two companies actually decreased").
