Treasure Hunter: In general, archaeological artifacts found on public property cannot legally be privately owned. But according to centuries-old maritime law, people who risk their lives attempting to rescue a ship in peril are permitted to keep whatever cargo they can salvage. Under this rule treasure hunters clearly are entitled to keep the cargo from ancient shipwrecks that they risk their lives to save from oblivion in public waters.
Archaeologist: Not so. These shipwrecks have stabilized over the centuries they have lain underwater. The only danger they are in is from greedy treasure hunters who destroy archaeological evidence in their hurry to loot salable artifacts.
On the evidence of their statements, it can be concluded that the treasure hunter and the archaeologist disagree on which of the following?
(A) What constitutes an archaeological artifact
(B) In what sense, if any, an ancient shipwreck can be said to be in peril
(C) Whether treasure hunters risk their lives when they retrieve artifacts from ancient shipwrecks
(D) Whether maritime law can ever be applied to a ship that has already sunk
(E) Whether antique shipwrecks in public waters can properly be said to be on public property
