[单项选择]On one occasion a reporter asked Henry Racamier if his shops ever thought of having a sale. "A sale" Mr. Racamier examined the word as though an impropriety had been uttered. "No," he said finally. On the contrary, his policy was to make the firm’s goods ever more alluring by increasing prices, not reducing them.

A. extending its market
B. increasing prices of its products
C. enriching the varieties of its products
D. bringing Mr. Arnault into the business group
