Editorial:
Regulations recently imposed by the government of Risemia call for unprecedented reductions in the amounts of pollutants manufacturers are allowed to discharge into the environment. It will take costly new pollution control equipment requiring expensive maintenance to comply with these regulations. Resultant price increases for Risemian manufactured goods will lead to the loss of some export markets. Clearly, therefore, annual exports of Risemian manufactured goods will in the future occur at diminished levels.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the editorial?
The need to comply with the new regulations will stimulate the development within Risemia of new pollution control equipment for which a strong worldwide demand is likely to emerge.
The proposed regulations include a schedule of fines for noncompliance that escalate steeply in cases of repeated noncompliance.
Savings from utilizing the chemicals captured by the pollution control equipment will remain far below the cost of maintaining the equipment.
By international standards, the levels of pollutants currently emitted by some of Risemia's manufacturing plants are not considered excessive.
The stockholders of most of Risemia's manufacturing corporations exert substantial pressure on the corporations to comply with environmental laws.
产品的价格变高（保护环境使用昂贵设备导致） → 出口减少
求削弱，也就是使用昂贵设备导致产品价格变高并不会使出口减少
A选项：符合新规定的需要将会刺激新的污染控制设备的发展，全球范围内的需求很可能会出现
有需求，则说明出口不会减少
