I think B is better answer, however B is not the answer

Inez: In these poor economic times, people want to

be sure they are getting good value for their

money. I predict people would be more willing to

buy antiques at our fair if we first have the objects

inspected by professional appraisers who would

remove any objects of questionable authenticity.

Anika: I disagree with your prediction. Our customers

already are antiques expens. Furthermore, hiring

professional appraisers would push up our costs

considerably, thus forcing us to raise the prices on

all our antiques.

Anika's response proceeds by

(A) indicating that a particular plan would have an

effect contrary to the anticipated effect

(B) claiming that a particular plan should not be

adopted because, while effective, it would have

at least one undesirable consequence

(C) arguing that an alternative plan could achieve a

desired result more easily than the plan

originally proposed

'(D) questioning the assumption that authorities are

available who have special knowledge of the

problem under discussion

(E) offering a counterexample in order to show that a

particular general claim is too broadly stated

B is obviously not the answer, cuz it says "while effective", which means that Anika would think it is "effective", but actually only Inez thought it was effective. Anika disagreed with Inez by pointing out that the plan would have the opposite result. So the answer should be A.
