Because of the recent transformation of the market. Quore, Inc., must increase productivity, 10 percent over the course of the next two years, or it will certainly go bankrupt. In fact, however, Quore’s production structure is such that if a 10 percent productivity increase is possible, then a 20 percent increase is attainable.

I understand why B is wrong.. even if it attain 20% productivity, it can go bankrupt by other reason.. but why (E)..
It states that Quore must go bankrupt if 20% productivty is unattainable..
in Question stem, it is stated that must increase productivity, 10 percent over the course of the next two years, or it will certainly go bankrupt.
please notice certainely that means that it is not sure that Quore will go bankrupt even if they do not attain 10%..
must is a strong word and used against certainity in argument stem..
