The percentage of cases of chemical poisoning in which workers in the AB adhesive factory are involved, such cases being characterized by symptoms including vomiting, blurry vision, and constricted respiration, is not nearly as high as the percentage constructed by correctly consolidating the figures from reports conducted by similar chemical production industries and forming an accurate average. However, despite complaints about their inherent capability to cause discomfort to the face and neck area and to reduce the vision field by up to 40%, gas masks equipped with twin filters are a mandatory item for all employees working in the operational sectors of the AB adhesive factory.
Which of the following, if true, best reconciles the seeming discrepancy described above?
(A) The percentage of chemical poisoning cases, or, in the case of companies that produce consumer products, the percentage of physical injuries, is often an indication of a manufacturer's professionalism.
(B) Whether of the single or twin filter type, gas masks, despite being extremely effective for protection from the inhalation of toxic substances, are completely redundant in cases of exposure to gases that enter through skin pores.
(C) Since all adhesives contain ethanol and exylene, when comparing the frequencies of toxicity cases in factories, the inclusion of manufacturing industries that do not produce such chemicals in any step of their processes would only lead to misinformation.
(D) Before the policy of the obligatory wearing of twin-filter gas masks had been employed, it was not at all rare that the AB adhesive factory's frequency of chemical poisoning cases would match the industry average.
(E) The AB adhesive factory, prior to the implementation of the rule concerning the wearing of twin-filter gas masks, employed a higher number of people, both in the operational and administrative sectors, than it does today.

The premise is chemical poisoning complaints at AB are less than industry average.
Contradiction is despite the gas masks being discomfort, they are mandatory.
so, it can be resolved by knowing the reason behind making gas masks mandatory. This is provided by D that before being mandatory, the poisoning cases would have increased.
A, B, C and E all are not related to the argument.

The no.of cases of health problems due to chemical gas exposure in AB chemicals is less than industry average. Obviuosly , even though the gas masks are uncomfortable AB has manadated it to be worn in production area. reconciles the gap
