What is the correct answer??I could scale it down to either E or D Partly because of bad weather, but also partly because some major pepper growers have switched to high-priced cocoa, world production of pepper has been running well below worldwide sales for three years. Pepper is consequently in relatively short supply. The price of pepper has soared in response: it now equals that of cocoa. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? (A) Pepper is a profitable crop only if it is grown on a large scale. - If it were profitable then why would growers switch to Cocoa production (B) World consumption of pepper has been unusually high for three years. - Production has fallen. No mention of consumption been high. Cld be cld not be. © World production of pepper will return to previous levels once normal weather returns. - If people keep on shifting to Cocoa production then it is unlikely that production will come to normal level (D) Surplus stocks of pepper have been reduced in the past three years. - Looks OK. Since, prices are rising the surplus stocks must have also been exhausted. (E) The profits that the growers of pepper have made in the past three years have been unprecedented. - This is slightly tricky. Prices going up with production in short supply. What happens?? Producers make more money. I think this can also be infered from the passage.

Pls advise
