Greenwood is a growing neighborhood in Mintonport. Since Greenwood's population is now slightly larger than that of some neighborhoods that have their own branch libraries in Mintonport's public library system, Greenwood residents contend that the city ought to build a branch library there. Opponents argue that such a branch library would be underutilized, because Greenwood residents visit public libraries only half as often as do other city residents living in neighborhoods without branch libraries.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest rebuttal to the opponents' argument?
A. Mintonport has never closed any branch library because it was underutilized.
B. In comparison with other neighborhoods, Greenwood has greater access to many city services.
C. The libraries of public libraries are not as convenient for Greenwood residents as they are for residents of other neighborhoods that lack branch libraries.
D. Most residents of Greenwood have moved there within the last five years.
E. It costs the city more to operate a branch library today than it did 10 to 20 years ago, when most of the current branch libraries were built.
