题目:
Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
Pecan growers get a high price for their crop when pecans are comparatively scarce, but the price drops sharply when pecans are abundant.

选项:
A、each of the last two years produced record-breaking pecan yields
B、the quality of this years pecan crop is no worse than the quality of the pecan crops of the previous five years
C、pecan prices have not been subject to sharp fluctuations in recent years
D、for some pecan growers, this years crop was no smaller than last years
E、the practice of holding back part of one years crop had not yet become widespread the last time the pecan crop was as small as it was this year
