A firm that owns and manages apartment buildings throughout Sinolia pays for repairs suggested by safety inspectors only if the repairs are first approved as being “free of tenant error” by a review panel appointed by the company. The purpose of this rule is to save the company the money it might otherwise spend on unneeded repairs. Recently, the firm announced that as part of a cost saving initiative, it has decided to abandon the rule.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest justification for the firm’s decision?
A. Tenants often register a lack of satisfaction with safety inspectors who do not suggest any repairs to address their concerns.
B. Safety inspectors often suggest certain repairs that are useful but not altogether necessary for the safety of the tenant.
C. There is a strong negative correlation between approvals of repairs by the firm-appointed review panel and the cost estimates of the repairs.
D. The firm’s review panel does not supersede the safety inspectors’ prerogative, to select the type of repair the panel members prefer in cases where more than one type of repair is possible.
E. The review process is expensive and practically always results in the approval of the suggested repairs.

The firm's ultimate goal is to save money. If it has abandoned the rule, then the rule must have been costing the firm more than it saved. Answer E explains why the rule was a financial burden.

Option E here perfectly points out the fact that if the approvals are happening anyway and the review is indeed expensive then there is little need to keep the rule.
