I am not convinced with the OA provided. It is very much possible that the stimulus provided by the government has led to the change in opinion of the people.Hence C cannot be the answer.

Hi saikarthikreddy
This one is really tough. However, you just need to attack the term "forever".
The conclusion is: Some people don't know what term "forever" is.
Because: there's a difference in the percentage of consumers replied to the survey.
The question stem asks us to find an option that would NOT weaken the conclusion. It means we need to find an option that STRENGTHEN the conclusion or is OUT OF SCOPE.
The correct answer is the one that supports the conclusion "some people don't know the term FOREVER". Let analyze the term "forever". If people understood the term "forever", they would never change their mind ONLY because of TEMPORARY events.
For example:
Because you were promoted to CEO, you won't need to study MBA anymore. You said to your friend that "my new position changes my study plan forever". It means MBA is the final target for you to be the CEO. It means nothing temporary can affect you decision[not to study MBA]. If something such as improving knowledge, creating networks, etc... can CHANGE your decision. You CANNOT say the CEO position changes your study plan FOREVER. You can only say to your friend that the new position changes your study plan TEMPORARY.
Back to option C:
C says: Many of the consumers received a generous government stimulus this year. The government stimulus is only the TEMPORARY event, but in fact, it can change some body's mind. Hence, it's clearly that those people don't know what term "forever" is.
Does it clear you doubt. Let me know.
