Limolex, a kind of varnish, is manufactured to serve the sole purpose of protecting oil paintings from dust and other foreign particles while the paint dries, a process that takes a maximum of 24 hours. A new product, Miloseal, has entered the market in competition with Limolex. Miloseal’s marketing agent claims that using Mimoseal gives better results with oil paintings because Miloseal provides protection for twice the duration that its competitor does.
Which of the following statements, if true, would most seriously call into question the claim made by Miloseal's marketing agent?
A. Most oil paints require about 24 hours for drying.
B. Most varnishes are produced by companies that do not produce oil paint.
C. The protection given to oil paintings by Limolex is more than sufficient to keep them safe for 24 hours.
D. Miloseal does not provide protection for water colors while Limolex could work with certain kinds of water colors.
E. The protection that Miloseal affords to paintings that use both oil and acrylic paints is only half as good as that provided by Limolex to such paints.
