Popcorn may be a humble snack for movie goers but for India's multiplex industry it is the diet on which its revenue gets the much-needed bump even when movies don't fire the bottom line. Food and beverage (F&B) segment has been a high earner at nearly 25% for multiplexes, and that's why allowing food from outside can dim the prospects for this growing sector.
Which of the following can be concluded based on the information provided above?

Options

A. The end of prohibition on outside food will come as a big dampener just when the multiplex industry is growing rapidly and exploring newer sources of income.
B. If state governments force multiplexes to sell F & B items at maximum retail price and allow outside food, the industry may have to put up with lower earnings growth in the coming months. Shares of leading multiplexes saw a sharp fall on Friday.
C. For instance, a tub of popcorn in most multiplexes costs nearly two times the price of a movie ticket. This fact also reflects in the financial numbers of many multiplex companies.
D. As more multiplexes come up, owners look for newer sources of revenue.
