A
address the expense of building or refitting a refrigerator with the new technology
This is a key possibility that the argument ignores. If these expenses outweigh the money saved from keeping the food in the oxygen-removing refrigerators at a warmer temperature, the oxygen-removing models may not be significantly cheaper than current models in the long term.
B
address the possibility of consumer discomfort with the new refrigerators
Consumer discomfort with the new refrigerators is irrelevant. The argument is only concerned with how much cheaper the new refrigerators could potentially be than current models.
C
explain the technology that enabled the oxygen-removing membrane to be developed
The technology doesn’t need to be explained. The author is just making the case that refrigerators fitted with this technology will be cheaper, in the long run, than current refrigerator models.
D
take into account the effectiveness of current refrigerator technology in preventing food spoilage
It’s not clear that the author doesn’t take this into account, but even if he doesn’t, the effectiveness of current refrigerator technology in preventing food spoilage has no bearing on whether oxygen-removing models will be cheaper in the long term.
E
take into account the inconvenience caused by food spoilage in current refrigerators
It’s not clear that the author doesn’t take this into account, but even if he doesn’t, the inconvenience caused by food spoilage in current refrigerators has no bearing on whether oxygen-removing models will be cheaper in the long term.
