Based on the following scenario, which of the following is the most reasonable inference? The local diner announced it would no longer serve breakfast past 10 AM on weekdays, a decision met with mixed reactions from its regular customers. Many who work early shifts expressed disappointment, while others commented that the diner was often empty during late morning breakfast hours.

A The diner expects to increase its dinner service profits.
B The diner likely aimed to reduce operating costs during slow periods.
C All regular customers disapproved of the change.
D The diner plans to expand its lunch menu significantly.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

The information suggests the diner was 'often empty during late morning breakfast hours,' implying low customer traffic and potential inefficiency. Reducing hours during these slow periods would logically aim to cut costs like staff wages and utilities.
