Farmers in Solosia recently unearthed tablets written in paleoform, an ancient undeciphered script previously known only from very small pottery fragments. The tablets included illustrations that allowed experts to translate the text. These translations confirmed much-disputed tales about Solosian history. Critics have accused the government of fabricating the tablets and planting them, pointing out that confirmation of the tales appeared at just the right moment to legitimate recent controversial actions taken by the Solosian government.
Which of the following, if true, could best be used to meet the critics' accusation?
A. Most of the critics who accused the government of fabricating the tablets had already expressed their opposition to its recent actions.
B. The recently discovered tablets were found by farmers who had decided to turn what had previously been pastureland into intensely cultivated croplands.
C. The publicity surrounding the Solosian tablets drew attention to an obscure private collection of partial tablets taken from Solosia that turned out to be in paleoform and whose text related parts of the same controversial tales.
D. The experts who translated the paleoform text on the tablets are professors at Solosia's most prestigious university.
E. None of the pottery fragments previously known to contain samples of paleoform contained enough connected stretches of text to serve as a check on the accuracy of the translations of the text of the recently discovered tablets.

Question asks us to weaken the premise that government fabricated and installed the pottery to give legitimacy to Solosia history.
Option C does that by linking the newly found artificat with already existing but controversial artifact
