I was so stuck between E and C because I felt like they explained different parts of the controversy but didn't really address the other one all that well. Ultimately I chose the answer I felt was stronger overall, which was E, but holy cow this question was so confusing.

The problem I have with this answer choice is that the quality of books does not necessarily translate to a decreasing number of books being published. For instance, there could be a huge market for trash quality "nostalgia bait" books, where the market is being oversaturated with books that are of lesser quality.

If the stimulus connected quality with its how likely it is to get published, I would choose C, but to me it feels like "quality" is irrelevant.
