A researcher found that Americans work an average of three

A researcher found that Americans work an average of three hours longer per week than French or German workers and about five weeks more per year. In total,
Americans work over 1,800 hours a year while their French and German counter parts work less than 1,500 hours. This is because workweeks in many European countries are limited by the government and the government requires a minimum amount of vacation time. The researcher also found that American workers would
like to work less, but only if their friends, colleagues, and competitors would also work less.

Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the information above?

(A) Americans workers are more dedicated to their jobs than are French and German workers.
(B) Americans are often outnumbered by vacationing Europeans in many U.S. national parks.
(C) European workers are happier than are American workers.
(D) American companies will out compete European companies over the coming decades.
(E) The best way to allow Americans to work fewer hours and take more vacation is through national legislation.
