The infection of manufacturing lines with bacteria is a serious safety risk that many food manufacturers spend millions of dollars per year to prevent. Because sterilizing stainless steel containers with chemical sterilizers is expensive to do every day, some analysts have recommended installing UV lamps that can effectively sterilize the stainless steel containers without affecting food production. The lamp costs the same as one month’s supply of chemical sterilizers to sterilize the same number of stainless steel containers.
In deciding whether the change would be effective in decreasing the cost of food sterilization, it would be most useful to determine which of the following?
A. Whether food distributors should also sterilize their trucks in order to keep food safe.
B. Whether the UV lamps tend to be effective for longer than a single month.
C. Whether stainless steel containers are more prone to contamination than are other types of containers.
D. Whether appropriate cooking practices can effectively destroy bacteria once food has been shipped to consumers.
E. Whether UV radiation is harmful to workers who come in contact with it.

B IMO since the lamps cost the same as one month’s supply of chemical sterilizers to sterilize the same number of stainless steel containers and if they tend to be effective for longer than a single month, then at the same cost as one month’s supply of chemical sterilizers manufacturers can sterilize more containers, thereby decreasing the overall cost.
And if the UV lamps tend NOT to be effective for longer than a single month then they might cost the same as the chemical sterilizers or even more than the chemical sterilizers.

B. Whether the UV lamps tend to be effective for longer than a single month.
it is said that both lamp and chemical fertilizer cost same for a month.If lamp is useful for more than a month then it reduce operating cost.Hence B.
