Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Perfume needs to evaporate in order to smell. If this perfume didn't evaporate, it would stay as a liquid and never smell.

It wouldn't be D, as no toxic perfumes is sold.

It's not A because perfume doesn't have to be pressurized in order to not evaporate.

It's not B, as it is a hasty conclusion to the claim. Plus, if the perfume did have an odor, even while not evaporating, the sales would be low as the product is that good.
