Pro-Tect Insurance Company has recently been paying out more on car-theft claims than it expected. Cars with special antitheft devices or alarm systems are much less likely to be stolen than are other cars. Consequently Pro-Tect, as part of an effort to reduce its annual payouts, will offer a discount to holders of car-theft policies if their cars have anti-theft devices or alarm systems.<\/p>\n

Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest indication that the plan is likely to achieve its goal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(A) The decrease in the risk of car theft conferred by having a car alarm is greatest when only a few cars have such alarms.
\n(B) The number of policyholders who have filed a claim in the past year is higher for Pro-Tect than for other insurance companies.
\n(C) In one or two years, the discount that Pro-Tect is offering will amount to more than the cost of buying certain highly effective antitheft devices.
\n(D) Currently, Pro-Tect cannot legally raise the premiums it charges for a given amount of insurance against car theft.
\n(E) The amount Pro-Tect has been paying out on car theft claims has been greater for some models of car than for others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
