Six months or so after getting a video recorder, many early buyers apparently lost interest in obtaining videos to watch on it. The trade of businesses selling and renting videos is still buoyant, because the number of homes with video recorders is still growing. But clearly, once the market for video recorders is saturated, businesses distributing videos face hard times.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion above?
(A) The market for video recorders would not be considered saturated until there was one in 80 percent of homes.
(B) Among the items handled by video distributors are many films specifically produced as video features.
(C) Few of the early buyers of video recorders raised any complaints about performance aspects of the new product.
(D) The early buyers of a novel product are always people who are quick to acquire novelties, but also often as quick to tire of them.
(E) In a shrinking market, competition always intensifies and marginal businesses fail.

OA is (D)
Indeed D is the correct answer.
IMO A does not hurt the conclusion.
Passage says : But clearly, once the market for video recorders is saturated, businesses distributing videos face hard times.
If we can find a option that says the video distribution business is not going to face a hard time even wen the market is saturated. The mystrey is solved.
By choosing A u r trying to question the validity of the passage. That is not how this conclusion weaken questions work. Quiet frankly we r not interested in what % of homes makes the market saturated.
consider a city with 100 people.
let 20 of them be early byers.
Option D says that these 20(early byers) ppl are those who will get tired of the product they buy.
The rest of them (80 ppl )would still be interested in using the using the stuff they bought.
As for the CR compared to above eg : even if 100 ppl own a video recorder(saturation is reached) .. If only 20 of them get tired of using the device ..does that mean that distributing videos businesses wil face a hard time ?
No way.... There are still 80 ppl who r stil using the video recorder.
