X is an online media provider. By offering unlimited and exclusive online content at attractive prices for a loyalty membership, X is almost forcing its customers towards its loyalty membership. If its loyalty membership continues to grow at its current rate, within the next eight years more households will be watching X than cable television.

Which one of the following statements can be inferred from the above paragraph?

  • Most households that subscribe to X's loyalty membership discontinue watching cable television
  • BNon-members prefer to watch cable television
  • CCable television operators don't subscribe to X's loyalty membership
  • DThe X is cancelling accounts of non-members

Explanation

For X's growing loyalty membership to plausibly overtake cable television viewership within eight years (as the passage projects), the households joining X's loyalty membership must largely be moving away from cable television — supporting the inference that most such subscribers discontinue watching cable. The other options aren't supported by anything stated in the passage.
