Five thousand of the 50,000 books published in country Z in 1991 were novels. Exactly 25 of the films released in country Z in 1992 were based on those novels. Since 100 films were released in country Z in 1992, no more than one-quarter of them were based on books published in country Z in 1991.
Which one of the following, if assumed, allows the conclusion above to be properly drawn?
(A) None of the scripts used in films released in 1992 were written by professional novelists.
(B) None of the films released in country Z in 1992 were based on books other than novels.
(C) None of the books that were published in country Z in 1992 were based on plots of films released in 1991.
(D) Some of the films released in country Z in 1992 were based on older films that had been released for the first time many years earlier.
(E) Some of the films released in 1991 in country Z were based on novels that were published in 1991.

Quote:
argument
= total books 50k, total novels 5k
= total films 100, total novel films 25
= films based books <= 25/100 (1/4)
ans (B) since all 25/100 films are novels = 1/4, then all films based on books must be novels
