Recently, the emergence of unintended and harmful side effects in many nascent, high-profile prescription drugs has resulted in a large increase in claims by drug companies against product liability insurance policies. This has caused product liability insurance premiums on projects that develop new prescription drugs to rise rapidly, which has led drug companies to try to extract more profits from existing, proven prescription drugs rather than trying to create new ones.
Which of the following, if true, taken together with the information above, best supports the conclusion that the cost of prescription drugs will continue to increase?
A: Since the risk of underwriting a drug-development project is spread over very few projects, premiums on these projects must be very high.
B: Whenever approved prescription drugs turn out to have unintended and harmful side effects, it is often very difficult to figure out which component of the drug's chemical formula has caused the side effect.
C: The higher the drug company's profit expectations are for a drug, the more it will be prescribed making it more likely that side effects will be revealed.
D: Most drug-development projects do not result in marketable drugs, so economies of scale in drug development are impossible to achieve.
E: Since many new drugs are developed by large, bureaucratic companies, inefficiencies in drug-development projects are unavoidable.
