In numerous factories, automated equipment is replacing employees in order to save money. These employees will need government assistance to survive, and the same factories that fire employees will eventually pay for that assistance through a heavier tax burden and unemployment insurance fees.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the author's argument?
(A) The profits of most factories that are not replacing employees with automated equipment are declining each year.
(B) Automated equipment that is sophisticated enough to replace employees is very costly.
(C) Most employees that have been replaced by automated equipment are unskilled workers and are thus often unable to find new jobs.
(D) Government unemployment assistance is funded by many resources, and taxes and unemployment insurance fees account for less than 10% of these funds.
(E) All factories are obligated to pay taxes and to give employees a month's notice before dismissal.

The assumption of the argument is that the fired employees will not find new jobs (after getting fired), because if they find new jobs the argument breaks down: No unemployed workers means government need not pay for their expenses.
Let's see what the option choice says:
(A) The profits of most factories that are not replacing employees with automated equipment are declining each year.
(B) Automated equipment that is sophisticated enough to replace employees is very costly.
(C) Most employees that have been replaced by automated equipment are unskilled workers and are thus often unable to find new jobs: Correct choice - This is exactly what we needed. If these employees are able to find new jobs then the argument breaks down.
(D) Government unemployment assistance is funded by many resources, and taxes and unemployment insurance fees account for less than 10% of these funds.
(E) All factories are obligated to pay taxes and to give employees a month's notice before dismissal.
