Few ideas are more deeply entrenched in our political culture than tha

My dissection of Passage:-

If the claims made in the passage are correct, how would politicians on the political right be expected to react to America‘s program to protect endangered species from extinction?

A. They would extol it because its success is not attributable to governmental regulation.
B. They would extol it because its success refutes the pessimistic claims of the political left.
C. They would criticize it because its success was due to costly regulations.
D. They would criticize it because it has not shown any measurable success.
E. They would be indifferent towards it

If the claims made in the passage are correct, and the claims are

1. the right is afraid of the good news because it shows that governmental regulations might occasionally amount to something other than wickedness incarnate, and actually produce benefits at an affordable cost

2. a. Nor are environmentalists the only people reluctant to acknowledge the good news
b. seem to have tacitly agreed to play it down.

3. seven animal species in North America have disappeared. Several hundred others once considered certain to die out continue to exist in the wild.

Now, if i personalize this argument as a Political Right person .. I understand that
1) It is government effort that brought this change,
2) Lefts are the Pessimistic people not us
3) It is not at all costly as highlighted above - everything achieved in affordable cost
4) As discussed above there are specific examples of measurable success
5) Now I dont really have options I ll try to act reluctant to acknowledge the good news..unless i have a better option to talk about the unfair penalizing of landlords

I am still not able to see why C can be better answer than others.. it is perfect Opposite answer case; while E still has some merit
