Congress approved the Community Mental Health Centers Act in 1963, which outlined plans to remove the mentally ill from institutions, incorporate the individuals into their communities, and provide outpatient treatment. Leading associations of mental health professionals have consistently applauded these goals, and overwhelmingly approved of those plans, because, the experts said, the treatment rather than the environment was the crucial element for these patients. Within twenty years, state authorities succeeded in releasing 95% of these patients from institutional care. However, in 1983 these same professional associations said that the plight of the mentally ill was worse than ever.
Which if the following, if true, best resolves the paradox in the above passage?
A . More people were diagnosed with psychiatric disorders in 1983 than in 1963.
B . Many mental health professionals believe that if their peers had administered the project rather than the state authorities, the results would have been better.
C . The state budget allocation for services to the mentally ill has not increased faster than the rate of inflation.
D . Congress agreed to fund these outpatient services, provided that the money come from cuts in other domestic programs; these cuts, however, never materialized.
E . Many of the released patients had, at some time, been addicted to illegal narcotics.

I go with D....while C is an explanation for less fundinf, it could be a tiny difference as in rate of growth of funding is 2.9% and inflation is 3%.
D states that the funding for outpatient treatment never even materialized, hence, the mentally ill were released but were given no treatment...so their conditions worsened
