Why is C correct?

How does something happening in other towns can be assumed for the small town also. If something has worked in other towns does not mean that it will work in our town also.

­I too think the same. We generally eliminate options like these by giving the reason that if it works for other towns, it doesn't mean that it will work for this town too.
But I also feel that C is much better than the other 4 choices.­

­Since the question is about the strengthener, which increases our belief in the conclusion. It is not a Must be true condition. Since Choice C increases our belief in the conclusion, hence it is a correct choice.

An example of a must be true assumption could be: The shops opens after 10PM are responsible for the crimes in the town.

­Yeah, i agree. 
Argument says: New ordinance will cause  ''reduction in crime and improvement in the overall quality of life

This can be strengthen by saying that:
1. ''No cause'' will have ''no effect''
2. Some other case had the Same cause and same effect.
