Brochure: Help conserve our city’s water supply. By converting the landscaping in your yard to a water-conserving landscape, you can greatly reduce your outdoor water use. A water-conserving landscape is natural and attractive, and it also saves you money.
Criticism: For most people with yards, the savings from converting to a water-conserving landscape cannot justify the expense of new landscaping, since typically the conversion would save less than twenty dollars on a homeowner’s yearly water bills.
Which of the following, if true, provides the best basis for a rebuttal of the criticism?
(A) Even homeowners whose yards do not have water-conserving landscapes can conserve water by installing water-saving devices in their homes.
(B) A conventional landscape generally requires a much greater expenditure on fertilizer and herbicide than does a water-conserving landscape.
(C) A significant proportion of the residents of the city live in buildings that do not have yards.
(D) It costs no more to put in water-conserving landscaping than it does to put in conventional landscaping.
(E) Some homeowners use more water to maintain their yards than they use for all other purposes combined.

B for me too...
c says that not many people have yards, but its not relevant to the critcism...
D says about converting, while this is similar it really doesnt address the issue of the criticism.
E irrelevant
B is the best, says, conventional gardens not only cost more to water but also cost more to maintain...

Definitely (B) because the criticism is focusing only on conversion and watering costs. If other costs are brought itn (as the one mentioned by (B) ) then the whole situation could change.
(A) and (C) actually strengthen the criticism.
(D) and (E) have no effect
