The option that undermines the credibility of the argument is:

The author supports the argument with a figure that is outdated.

The reference to "only a few thousand titles available as of 2001" suggests that the author's argument is based on outdated information, which diminishes its relevance and credibility in the context of the current state of e-books and digital publishing.
