Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
Farmers producing cotton have found that by feeding an iron-based pigment through the irrigation system of a field, the color of the cotton fibers can be altered. Since most textile manufacturers prefer having complete control over the coloration of the cotton products they produce, no interest has been shown in cotton that has been pigmented in this way. However, it is likely that the method will be implemented because __________.
A. profits from cotton farming have been declining for several years, and farmers are in need of new ways to earn income
B. irrigation systems can be almost 100% automated, allowing cotton farmers to avoid unnecessary water wastage while preventing crop loss
C. feeding iron-based pigments through irrigation pipes leaves a residue that can result in blockage or corrosion that is difficult to repair
D. the manufacturing of textiles relies heavily on a supply of raw materials that is high in quality and large in quantity
E. using a white pigment will have no effect on the cotton's color, while its iron component will strengthen cells, resulting in a more resilient fiber

E sounds good.
With white pigment, the color of the cotton will not be changed, so manufactures won't have any issue with the cotton. At the same time, the quality of the cotton will be improved. Sound like a valid reason to implement the plan.

However, it is likely that the method will be implemented because __________.
A. profits from cotton farming have been declining for several years, and farmers are in need of new ways to earn income --> not related
B. irrigation systems can be almost 100% automated, allowing cotton farmers to avoid unnecessary water wastage while preventing crop loss --> not related
C. feeding iron-based pigments through irrigation pipes leaves a residue that can result in blockage or corrosion that is difficult to repair -> this should be a reason not to implemented this pigmented.
D. the manufacturing of textiles relies heavily on a supply of raw materials that is high in quality and large in quantity-> not related.
E. using a white pigment will have no effect on the cotton's color, while its iron component will strengthen cells, resulting in a more resilient fiber --> Supports the argument.
