Large quantities of lead dust can be released during renovations in houses with walls painted with lead-based paint. Because the dust puts occupants at high risk of lead poisoning, such renovations should be done only in unoccupied houses by contractors who are experienced in removing all traces of lead from houses and who have the equipment to protect themselves from lead dust. Even when warned, however, many people will not pay to have someone else do renovations they believe they could do less expensively themselves. Therefore, Homeowners’ Journal should run an article giving information to homeowners on how to reduce the risk of lead poisoning associated with do-it-yourself renovation.
Which one of the following principles most helps to justify the passage’s recommendation about an article?
(A) Potentially dangerous jobs should always be left to those who have the training and experience to perform them safely, even if additional expense results.
(B) If people refuse to change their behavior even when warned that they are jeopardizing their health, information that enables them to minimize the risks of that behavior should be made available to them.
(C) A journal for homeowners should provide its readers with information on do-it-yourself projects only if such projects do not entail substantial risks.
(D) No one should be encouraged to perform a potentially dangerous procedure if doing so could place any other people at risk.
(E) People who are willing to do work themselves and who are competent to do so should not be discouraged from doing that work.
