It's b/w A and C but I'll go with C
B directly contradicts the statement
D and E just cannot be inferred
C is most conservative answer. Stem says "because the price of gasoline is still not prohibitive, the number of passengers using PT has fallen". This means that at a certain treshold, when gasoline prices are prohibitive, PT passengers will automatically rise. A assumes a directly proportional increase in PT passengers while the function might be one that starts increasing after a certain treshold as said by the stem.

But if even if the price of gasoline becomes prohibitive, how can we say for sure that the number of passangers on train will rise? It may be possible that because of the further deterioration in other services on train, the ridership may further decline or it may remain constant. How can we make the price of the gasiline the sole criteria for increase or decrease in the ridership?
wrong so I am taking little more time to get back my confidence.
