confused
Hello, why is A not correct? I chose it over B because it mentions how catering to popular taste (changing the 'bean' to make it cheaper). I also thought E couldve been the answer but not B. Help pls

The "cynical bean counters" to whom we want to analogize are cutting production costs in favor of profit. The materials they choose are simply less expensive.
Answer choice A is incorrect because there is no indication that the curator, in choosing popular pieces , is cutting costs.
Answer choice E is not analogous because reallocating funds from once project to another is not the same as cutting costs. The overall costs remain the same.
Answer choice B is analogous because the studio is cutting the production costs.
