GMAT Question of the Day – Critical Reasoning

Advertisement:
The world’s best coffee beans come from Colombia. The more Colombian beans in a blend of coffee, the better the blend, and no company purchases more Colombian beans than Kreemo Coffee. Inc. So it only stands to reason that if you buy a can of Kreemo’s coffee, you’re buying the best blended coffee available today.
The reasoning of the argument in the advertisement is flawed because it overlooks the possibility that

(A) the equipment used by Kreemo to blend and package its coffee is no different from that used by most other coffee producers
(B) not all of Kreemo’s competitors use Colombian coffee beans in the blends of coffee they sell
(C) Kreemo sells more coffee than does any other company
(D) Kreemo’s coffee is the most expensive blended coffee available today
(E) the best unblended coffee is better than the best blended coffee

Answer choice is C.

Can someone explain me why C is the correct choice? There is no mention of :

1. only Colombian beans are used to manufacture the coffee by Kreemo

2. Kreemo sells only Colombian beans made coffee

    The argument says – kreemo sell most coffee – it is reasonable therefore to assume that therefore it would be requiring (and hence purchasing) more colombian beans than any other coffee. So even though the overall quantum of beans purchased is more (in comparison to other companies) it does not however gurantee a greater proportion of the bean in each packet of coffee sold by Kreemos. This is the weak point of the argument.

    Option C is perfect bcoz obviously since kreemo sells more coffee than others do, it will require a higher quantity of columbian beans
