In an effort to prevent accidents from distractions caused by texting while driving, auto companies are now offering built- in audio systems that link themselves through the Bluetooth technology to the individuals mobile phone and automatically read texts as and when they are received. These companies are hopeful that their initiative will be appreciated by people who are increasingly voicing concerns over the rising number of auto-accidents reported in which the cause of the accident was the drivers lack of focus on the road while texting.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the assertion that the people will not appreciate the initiative taken by the auto companies?
A. The price of automobiles fitted with such audio-systems is expected to be higher than the price of automobiles not fitted with such systems
B. Consumers are generally apprehensive of any major alteration in the standard features offered in an automobile
C. Studies have shown that five seconds is the average time a drivers eyes are off the road while texting
D. In the past five years, most innovations in the auto-industry have received only a lukewarm response from industry experts
E. It is a commonly known fact that an individual driving a vehicle can lose focus by either a lapse in visual attention or an audio distraction

A. The price of automobiles fitted with such audio-systems is expected to be higher than the price of automobiles not fitted with such systems
The concern over here is distraction from mobile phone and not the price.
B. Consumers are generally apprehensive of any major alteration in the standard features offered in an automobile.
Same as A.
C. Studies have shown that five seconds is the average time a drivers eyes are off the road while texting.
This is strengthening, since with the new tech, driver would not check the phone.
D. In the past five years, most innovations in the auto-industry have received only a lukewarm response from industry experts.
Out of scope.
E. It is a commonly known fact that an individual driving a vehicle can lose focus by either a lapse in visual attention or an audio distraction.
Correct. Since the driver will now hear the messages instead of reading them, the audio distraction can now cause the accidents

Conclusion --> The new audio system will lead to less accidents.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the assertion that the people will not appreciate the initiative taken by the auto companies?
We are looking for an answer which tells that the system may not work/would not be appreciated.
A. The price of automobiles fitted with such audio-systems is expected to be higher than the price of automobiles not fitted with such systems
Incorrect. Cost is not a factor. Accidents are a concern. Does not give reason why audio system will not work.
B. Consumers are generally apprehensive of any major alteration in the standard features offered in an automobile
Incorrect. Even if consumers are generally apprehensive, does not give reason why this audio system would not work.
C. Studies have shown that five seconds is the average time a drivers eyes are off the road while texting
Incorrect. This tells the need for a better system (audio system for example) but does not tell why the audio system itself would not work.
D. In the past five years, most innovations in the auto-industry have received only a lukewarm response from industry experts
Incorrect. Same reasons as B.
E. It is a commonly known fact that an individual driving a vehicle can lose focus by either a lapse in visual attention or an audio distraction
Correct. Gives a reason/cause why the audio system would not work.
