During periods when a large number of patients are admitted to a hospital, more qualified nurses are hired and more money is spent on nurse training than when the number of patients in a hospital is low. Thus, the average number of mistakes made by nurses should be lower during periods when there is a large number of patients in a hospital than when there is a small number of patients in a hospital and less money is available to hire qualified nurses and provide training to all nurses.
Which of the following, if true about a hospital during a period in which a large number of patients are admitted, casts the most serious doubt on the conclusion drawn above?
A. Its nurses demand higher wages than they do at other times.
B. Its nurses have less time to spend with each patient than they have at other times.
C. Its staff members are less likely to lose their jobs then they are at other times.
D. Its management provides opportunities for patients to provide feedback about their nurses.
E. Its training program for nurses is very rigorous.

(B) in my opinion.
If the nurses have less time to give to patients, then they might be more prone to make mistakes and the conclusion regarding less number of mistakes might break down.

Why not C? as they are not likely to be fired easily won't that give the nurses the incentive to be careless with their work?
