Statement: "Online shopping has increased dramatically."Inference:
Correct answer: A. E-commerce is experiencing growth
- A. E-commerce is experiencing growth
- B. Physical retail stores are shutting down
- C. People prefer online shopping over physical stores
- D. The cost of internet access is decreasing
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: E-commerce is experiencing growth. This inference logically follows from the statement as an increase in online shopping signifies more transactions and activity on e-commerce platforms, indicating growth. Option B suggests a possible consequence, but it is not directly supported by the statement. Option C assumes a preference for online shopping without direct evidence. Option D speculates about internet costs, which is not mentioned in the statement about online shopping.
