The research described in the textbook suggests that when given a large number of options, people may actually have a harder time making a decision and may become overwhelmed. Therefore, even if Americans say they prefer a parlor with a larger number of flavors, they may actually have a more difficult time choosing from that parlor compared to one with a smaller selection. This is consistent with option C, which suggests that Americans may have difficulty choosing a flavor from Parlor Z. None of the other options are supported by the research on choices described in the textbook.
