Curator denied the donation of replica of sculpture, even after it having remarkable Fidelity and high artistic merit.
The possible reason could be:

A. Rodianov has already donated a number of replicas to the museum. (Well, if museum is accepting replicas from a long time, there is no valid reason to deny this) (Not Sufficient)

B. The curator does not have sole authority to accept or decline public donations. (But curator is denying the replica, so it must be a decision made by all people having authority. But it still don't reason out the reason behind not accepting donation) (Not sufficient)

C. The museum currently faces a severe shortage of storage space.(Well, if storage is a problem, then donation have to wait) (Keep this)

D. The museum is not located in Egypt.(So?The sculpture can be sent through any mode of transport.) (Not sufficient reason)

E. The curator and Rodianov are famously on bad terms. (Well, Rodianov is giving away such a precious replica, so enemity don't really feel like good reason to deny donation) (Not sufficient)

VERITAS PREP OFFICIAL SOLUTION:

Solution: C

This is a pretty clearcut Explain the Paradox question: find a reason that the museum – not the curator – would have to decline the donation. If the museum hasn’t got any storage space, they might not have a place to put the donation now (if it wouldn’t be immediately exhibited) or later (if it were taken off display).
