Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the above argument?



A)For an actor, the repetition of a performance in rehearsals adds little to the understanding of the character being played - If there is not much added to understanding of character by repetition, in that case the very first rehearsal performance will be similar to that on the last day, i.e., consistent
B)There are some props that are available to actors only on the final day of the show - No information which provides detail on consistency
C)Many famous and highly paid actors are from acting schools that specialize in teaching method-acting. - No information which provides detail on consistency
D)It is very likely for a method-actor playing the role of a beggar to actually dress up and wear torn and soiled clothes throughout the preparation stage to understand the psychology of the character. - Again, No information which provides detail on consistency between first and final day
E)These days many film actors prefer to do multiple rehearsals with their co-actors to fully understand the character they are portraying. - No information which provides detail on consistency

IMO A. Didn't read the rest.
The argument gives a bunch of reasons why the performance is consistent on the first and final day such as living in similar conditions and understanding the psychology etc.. We need to strengthen this. A says that rehearsals have negligible effect which indirectly means that the real reason for their consistency is not repetition/rehearsals but the bunch of reasons that the argument gives.

Hope it helps :)
