The correct option is (D)

The band sold its first CD to music stores for $14.99. The music stores added mark up of $2 and sold to the public for $17.99. people are ready to purchase CD's even at higher price. This suggest that there is strong demand for the band's CD in the market.

In this case, Live records should increase production and distribution of band's CD to take advantage of increased demand, thereby gaining from it.
