Explanation
Reading the question: We have a question of logical
continuation: we will complete the passage. Therefore, we'll predict something
before checking out the answers.
Creating a filter: We learn from the prompt that movie
pirates generally have no real interest in the movies... thus, the loss to the
industry is "less than it would appear, because only a fraction of the apparent
losses represent what would have been purchases." Not a pretty wording in our
prediction there, but that's of no consequence.
Applying the filter: What prompts match? Choice (C) does.
Choice (D) is related to what we said, though it's hyper-specific. Choice (D)
also misses how the estimate in question is wrong--it doesn't even mention
whether it's high or low, the critical piece of the picture. The correct answer
is (C).
