More airplane accidents are caused by pilot error than any other single factor. The military recently stopped requiring pilots to obtain immunization shots against chemical warfare agents. The shots are known to cause unpredictable dizzy spells, which can result in pilot error. Since many military pilots also pilot commercial passenger airlines, the reason for the military's decision must have been to reduce the number of commercial airline accidents.

Which of the following, if true, provides most support for the conclusion drawn above?

A) Recently, more pilots have been volunteering for the immunization shots
B) All commercial airline flights are piloted by two co-pilots, whereas military flights are usually piloted by only one
C) Chemical warfare is likely to escalate in the future
D) Military pilots are choosing to resign rather than obtain the immunization shots
E) Recently, the number of military pilots also piloting commercial airliners has declined
