Since the LargeCo supermarket chain started advertising its store-brand products, sales of its store-brand milk increased more than sales of its store-brand yogurt, even though advertising generally has a bigger impact on consumers' brand choices for yogurt than for milk.

The right answer will be a hypothesis that provides an alternative explanation for the change in sales of LargeCo’s store-brand milk and yogurt after LargeCo started advertising its store-brand products. This hypothesis will either explain the larger increase in store-brand milk or the smaller increase in store-brand yogurt.

This furthers the discrepancy rather than resolving it. If demand for LargeCo yogurt and other yogurt is increasing, why are sales of LargeCo yogurt increasing less than sales of its milk? We still need an alternative explanation for this phenomenon.

Because we have no idea how many shoppers go to LargeCo “for the purpose of buying milk,” this doesn’t explain the discrepancy in LargeCo milk and yogurt sales. Perhaps very few shoppers go to LargeCo to buy milk and these shoppers have little impact on the store’s overall sales.

Because milk and yogurt are both dairy products, the fact that shopper tend to buy LargeCo dairy products more than other products doesn’t explain why LargeCo’s milk sales increased more than its yogurt sales.

Nationwide declines in yogurt sales offer an alternative explanation for why LargeCo’s milk sales increased more than its yogurt sales after it began advertising store-brand products, despite advertising usually having a stronger effect on yogurt brand choices than on milk.

Because we don’t know whether LargeCo milk is more or less expensive than other milk, (E) doesn’t explain why LargeCo’s milk sales increased more than its yogurt sales.
