Reading
The question below refers to the following article.

SEOUL (July 19) – Breamin’s Group opened the doors to its first B&G clothing shop on the famed
Abgujeong Rodeo street in South Korea to long lines of frantic shoppers – [1] – The frenzy was over the
limited edition line designed by Marichio Bucci in partnership with B&G. Within just a couple of hours of
opening the doors, most of the Bucci design items were sold out. Similar reports of chaos and empty
shelves which once held items from the Bucci line were echoed in major cities around the world including
New York, London, Tokyo, and Milan – [2] – Although B&G has released limited edition collaborations
with other famous designers, this is the first time that B&G shops have reported a complete depletion of
items within hours of its release. The Bucci and B&G collaboration is the most successful to date and,
already, talks are in progress over future collaborations for more clothing lines – [3] – Meanwhile in
Seoul, shoppers who were unable to purchase from the Bucci line were disappointed but excited to have
the popular retailer open in Korea. – [4] -

Question: What is reported about the Bucci and B&G collaboration?

(A) It took years to put together.
(B) It was only sold in select stores.
(C) It's one of the most profitable collaborations for the company.
(D) It will only be a one-time event
