A city councilman has proposed a controversial new plan to increase city revenues from the parking places downtown. He has proposed that instead of charging $1.20 per hour for parking in these spots, the city should make all parking spots five minute loading zones, and then assess $15 parking fines on anyone who parks in the spots for more than five minutes.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest argument that the councilman’s plan will not increase the city’s revenue?
A. A system that promotes parking fines will anger citizens, and they will consequently vote the councilman out of office if the plan goes through.
B. The city owns only 14 parking spots in the downtown area.
C. The costs of assessing and collecting the parking fines will surpass the revenues likely to be collected from the new plan.
D. Ray’s parking garage, the only competition for the city-owned parking places downtown, charges $18 per day for its parking places.
E. It has been observed that on an average day, approximately three different cars park in each of the city-owned parking spots downtown.

IMO C; The costs of assessing and collecting the parking fines will surpass the revenues likely to be collected from the new plan.
here if the costs of assessing and collecting the parking fines > revenue then plan will fail

Plan does not need councilman. It can be a success without councilman.
B. The city owns only 14 parking spots in the downtown area.
Strengthener : Less parkings available in someway means less space, and chances are more that people may not move from one parking to another to avoid the fine.
C. The costs of assessing and collecting the parking fines will surpass the revenues likely to be collected from the new plan.
Only this choice weakens the plan.
D. Ray’s parking garage, the only competition for the city-owned parking places downtown, charges $18 per day for its parking places.
