The phrase "standard pricing pattern" as used in line 38 most nearly means a pricing pattern

Please explain why D and not A or B
I feel like D is actually too limiting, since in describing this as a “standard price pattern” it is actually describing a pattern that occurs generally, not specifically in “certain types of cases,” hence “fundamentals” in the previous sentence. A or B seem to capture this better...isn’t the definition of a standard a norm used for comparison? Thanks

Hi, the term in this case means a pattern (high price for originals which then falls) that applies when new rare flowers were introduced. This is a perfect match for D. This is not how all flowers are priced, just new variations that happen to be rare, hence the certain cases. A is wrong because there are no other pricing patterns we are comparing, B is wrong because we have no idea about any agreed criterion.
