In the two years following the unification of Germany in 1989, the number of cars owned by residents of East Germany and the total distance travelled by cars in East Germany both increased by approximately 40 per cent. In those same two years, however, the number of East German residents killed each year as car occupants in traffic accidents increased by about 300 percent.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the disproportionate increase in traffic fatalities?
(A) The average number of passengers per car was higher before unification than in the two years following it. (B) After unification, many of East Germany’s most experienced and safety-conscious drivers relocated permanently to West Germany. (C) After unification, a growing number of East German residents purchased new cars rather than used ones. (D) Most of the increase in total driving distance after unification was accounted for by drivers who had already driven extensively before 1989. (E) Other types of road users, such as bicyclists and pedestrians, did not see a comparable rise in fatalities during the same period.
