City Councilor Statement: The majority of urban flooding in Centerville is caused by improper disposal of waste, which clogs the city's drainage systems during heavy rainfalls. As most of this waste comes from disposable plastic products, the city proposes to ban the use of all single-use plastics. By implementing this ban, we believe that we will significantly reduce urban flooding incidents.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim that the proposal, if carried out, will have the announced effect?
(A) Centerville's waste management system efficiently processes non-plastic materials, which rarely contribute to drainage blockages.
(B) The disposal of single-use plastics in Centerville consumes more resources and energy than any other type of disposable products, thus if single-use plastics are banned, the city would have multiple benefits.
(C) Cities that have banned single-use plastics have observed significant reductions in landfill waste and improvements in overall environmental quality.
(D) The cost of cleaning the city's drainage systems after floods is significantly higher than the projected costs of enforcing the plastic ban.
(E) On days following heavy rainfall, the majority of debris removed from Centerville’s drainage systems is identified as single-use plastic.

Option C talks about landfill waste and overall environmental quality but doesnt clearly mention about water wastes , hence should be ruled out. We can say option B comes close despite it says"multiple benefits" flooding incidents may or may not be reduced due to decrease in landfill waste
