A school board candidate has indicated that cheating through the use of cellphones in the classroom is on the rise this year and has proposed a ban on cellphones in schools altogether. School officials cite only a marginal increase in the number of students who cheat this year in comparison to the last two years, so this is just a ploy to make voters think a quality education is his top priority.
Which of the following, if true, best strengthens the conclusion of the preceding argument?
(A) The school board candidate has continuously voted down proposals to increase the budget for area schools.
(B) The school board candidate has continuously voted in favor of budget increases for area schools.
(C) This year, schools in the district have smaller class sizes and better student/teacher ratios than they have had in past years.
(D) The ratio of teachers to number of students has decreased significantly over the past several years because of a growth in number of students district-wide without a concomitant rise in the number of teachers to accommodate the increase.
(E) The school board candidate has a daughter who attends a school in the district, and he does not want her to own a cellphone.

Hi Experts,
Could anyone please elaborate on what the correct answer should be. I thought that E would be the most convincing scenario.
