General Studies · Parallel Reasoning

Study the following argument and choose the option that most closely parallels its reasoning: The farmer's family had an option of planting gram or soybeans. Last year, gram received a better market price as compared to soybeans. But in order to ensure high yields, quality organic fertilisers and eco-friendly pest-controlling inputs are required for gram. Since they could not get the credit required for this additional care, despite the crop being likely to earn less profit, the family planted soybeans.
