To save money, many manufacturers of chemical products decide to emit harmful chemicals into the environment instead of disposing of them safely. Often, these emissions are the obvious cause of health problems for people who live near the source of the emissions. Eventually, many manufacturers engaging in these activities are compelled by the courts to compensate their victims for these health problems.
Which of the following is most readily inferable from the information above?
(A) Emitting harmful chemicals to reduce costs ultimately results in lower profitability levels than if the manufacturer refrains from emitting the chemicals.
(B) Manufacturers of chemical products place a higher value on saving money than on public health.
(C) These manufacturers will eventually discontinue emitting harmful chemicals into the environment.
(D) The courts consider the rights of those harmed by the emissions to be more important than the rights of chemical manufacturers.
(E) Those harmed by the emissions deserve to be compensated for the resulting health problems.
