The correct answer is choice (c). The assumption is that their is no other explanation for the 'increased' quantity of junk food sold in Rampur. However, choice (c) gives us one. If the scientists are true, then some of these 'lakhs' of devotees must be buying junk food in Rampur on their visit and this may be the actual reason for the increase in junk food consumption. Choice (a) strengthens the argument. Choice (b) and (d) are irrelevant.
