Camera manufacturers typically advertise their products by citing the resolution of their camera’ lenses, the resolution of a lens being the degree of detail the lens is capable of reproducing in the image it projects onto the film. Differences between cameras in this respect are irrelevant for practical photography, however, since all modern lenses are so excellent that they project far more detail onto the film than any photographic film is capable of reproducing in a developed image.
The argument depends on assuming which one of the following?
(A) The definition of the term “resolution” does not capture an important determinant of the quality of photographic instruments and materials.
(B) In determining the amount of detail reproduced in the developed photographic image, differences in the resolutions of available lenses do not compound the deficiencies of available film.
(C) Variations in the method used to process the film do not have any significant effect on the film’s resolution.
(D) Flawless photographic technique is needed to achieve the maximum image resolution possible with the materials and equipment being used.
(E) The only factors important in determining the degree of detail reproduced in the final photographic print are the resolution of the camera’s lens and the resolution of the film.

The argument relies on the idea that since photographic film can reproduce less detail than any modern lens can project onto it, there will be no difference in the quality of the developed image regardless of the lens used (and therefore the lens used is irrelevant for practical purposes). It is important to keep in mind that this argument is talking about "Differences between cameras in this respect". Other things that might affect the quality of the developed image (like technique and method) are not relevant to this argument.
The key assumption here is that every lens will produce the same quality developed image for practical purposes.
(b) is the one answer choice that corresponds with this assumption and is the right answer--if the quality of the lens compounded the quality of the developed image, different lenses would result in different quality images.

This is not relevant for explaining why differences in resolution are irrelevant
(B) In determining the amount of detail reproduced in the developed photographic image, differences in the resolutions of available lenses do not compound the deficiencies of available film.
This explains why differences in resolution are irrelevant as they do not make quality of film worse. Then the amount of details printed on a film will be limited by the capability of films to reproduce the same details
(C) Variations in the method used to process the film do not have any significant effect on the film’s resolution.
This makes the differences in resolution relevant
(D) Flawless photographic technique is needed to achieve the maximum image resolution possible with the materials and equipment being used.
This is not relevant
(E) The only factors important in determining the degree of detail reproduced in the final photographic print are the resolution of the camera’s lens and the resolution of the film.
If these are not the only two factors then it is not clear why higher resolution of the camera is not important
Ans: B
