i believe so.

the costs keep decreasing as the price keeps increasing, so that's not it.

profits and revenues are never equal at the same price, so that's not it.

there are negative profits when revenues are positive, so that's not it.

that leaves A and E, so they're probably right.

profits do increase until the price is 22 dollars, so that looks good, even though you can't see that it's exactly 22 from looking at the graph.

there are more positive revnues than positive profits looks good because the zero points on the graph are wider for positive revenue then they are for positive profits.
