Analyst: "Cotton growers claim that, because disease-resistant plants will not be engineered unless research costs can be matched by product revenue, the current 10 years of cotton subsidies should be prolonged in the case of newly engineered plants. However, manufacturers of synthetic fabrics continue to develop new materials despite production costs, a success that implies that the prolongation is not needed."
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the cotton growers' argument against the analyst’s opinion?
A No agricultural segment other than cotton growers have asked for more than 10 years of subsidies.
B Disease-resistant plants, which cannot be engineered without research subsidies, often cannot be grown on a large scale for at least 10 years after they are first planted.
C Before the first cotton subsidies were provided 20 years ago, cotton growers never received government assistance.
D The terms of cotton subsidies do not preclude growers from using the same plants they have in the past.
E In markets where governments subsidize development, prices often rise, limiting demand and effectively negating the benefit of subsidies.
