A university library is considering transitioning from physical textbooks to digital versions accessible through an online portal. The library's management expects that, even with the convenience and accessibility of digital textbooks, the overall number of textbooks accessed by students will remain similar to current levels.
Assuming the library management's expectation is accurate, which of the following outcomes of the transition to digital textbooks is most likely?
(A) Students will primarily use digital textbooks for courses where extensive reading is required.
(B) The shift to digital textbooks will not result in a significant change in students' study habits or the frequency of textbook usage.
(C) If a large proportion of students access digital textbooks regularly, the use of physical textbooks in the library will substantially decrease.
(D) The introduction of digital textbooks will lead to a reduction in the physical storage space needed for textbooks at the university library.
(E) The overall engagement of students with library resources will increase if the digital textbooks are integrated with interactive learning tools.

GMAT Club's Official Explanation:
B) The shift to digital textbooks will not result in a significant change in students' study habits or the frequency of textbook usage.
- This option aligns with the library management's expectation that the overall number of textbooks accessed will remain similar despite the transition to digital formats. If there is no significant change in students' study habits or textbook usage frequency, it would explain why the total number of textbooks accessed remains constant.
The other options, while relevant, do not directly correspond with the management's expectation as closely as choice (B):
A) Students will primarily use digital textbooks for courses where extensive reading is required.
- This addresses the potential preference for digital textbooks but does not directly relate to the overall usage remaining similar.
C) If a large proportion of students access digital textbooks regularly, the use of physical textbooks in the library will substantially decrease.
- While this might be a potential outcome, it doesn't directly support the idea of the overall number of textbooks accessed remaining the same.
D) The introduction of digital textbooks will lead to a reduction in the physical storage space needed for textbooks at the university library.
- This is a logistical outcome of the transition but does not address the frequency or number of textbook accesses by students.
E) The overall engagement of students with library resources will increase if the digital textbooks are integrated with interactive learning tools.
- This suggests a potential increase in engagement but does not specifically support the expectation that the total number of textbooks accessed will not change.
Therefore, (B) is the best answer as it directly corresponds to the library management's expectation regarding the effect of transitioning to digital textbooks on students' textbook usage.
