Among tracking dogs in a police training program, the types of paw injuries that result from following rough trails are common. Because following rough trails is a critical aspect of the training program, instead of reducing the time the dogs spend practicing this skill, the department plans to provide protective footwear for the dogs while they train to eliminate most or all of their paw injuries. This footwear has been shown to reduce the rate of paw injuries while not interfering with the dogs' performance.
Which of the following would be most useful to know in order to evaluate the likelihood that the police department's plan will meet its objective?
A) How successful other forms of protective equipment have been in reducing other types of injuries to police dogs
B) Whether other kinds of injuries to dogs in the training program also result from following rough trails
C) Whether paw injuries in dogs in the training program are caused by other activities in the training program
D) Whether changes to the police department's policy could reduce the need for tracking dogs
E) What proportion of the dogs in the training program follow rough trails while not in training
Para when broken down..
paw injuries that result from following rough trails are common >>> dogs provided protective footwear while training >>> resulting in lesser paw inuries
Plan :-
to provide protective footwear for the dogs while they train to eliminate most or all of their paw injuries.
Important points -
a) used while they train AND
b) deals with paw injuries

We are dealing with paw injuries only. Discard without wasting any further time.

Same as A above. We are dealing with paw injuries only. Discard without wasting any further time.

I am sure that many would go for this as an answer. But plan is to provide protective footwear THROUGHOUT the trg. So, even if there are other parts of the trg that can lead to paw injuries, the protective wear would ensure no injuries.

Now, the protective wear is being used only for the training part, so if the routine of these dogs requires them to use rough trail even when not under training, the plan is likely to fail unless the protective wear is used throughout. Correct
