Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Most households that subscribe to X’s loyalty membership discontinue watching cable television.

Explanation

The key selects **A**,interpreting growth in online membership as substitution away from cable. However,the passage only predicts audience totals and does not establish that most individual households cancel cable;subscriptions may overlap. A is retained as keyed,with this inference limitation explicit rather than presenting it as a logical certainty.
