For manufacturing of the vaccine Fluvax, the first step is to grow a particular virus InfluX under strictly controlled temperature conditions, in the range of -65 degree celsius to -67 degree celsius, within a bioreactor. Tests on the virus show that it can actually grow well in a broader range of temperature, even up to a temperature as high as -50 degree celsius. Since growing the virus successfully is the most important step of manufacturing the vaccine, as some financial controllers think, by relaxing the temperature conditions the manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced without risking the loss of the batch. However, the idea of the financial controllers may not be effective because a catalyst used in the process cannot withstand such levels of temperature fluctuations.
In the argument above, the two boldfaced parts play which of the following roles?
A. The first is an objection against the opinion of the author; the second is the opinion of the author.
B. The first is the opinion of the author; the second is the opinion that the author calls into question.
C. The first is a perception that has been offered in support of the opinion that the author calls into question; the second is a condition on which that perception is based.
D. The first is a claim that the author calls into question; the second is the opinion of the author.
E. The first is a perception that has been offered in support of the opinion that the argument calls into question; the second is that opinion.

E. The first is a perception that has been offered in support of the opinion that the argument calls into question; the second is that opinion.
The argument blocks of the passage are as follows:
1. Perception of the financial controllers:
2. Opinion of the controllers based on the above perception:
“the manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced without risking the loss of the batch.” (Second bold faced part)
3. Opinion of the author:
“the idea of the financial controllers may not be effective” (opposing the opinion of the financial controllers.
A. The second bold faced part is not the opinion of the author, it is the opinion of the financial controllers.
B. The first bold faced part is not the opinion of the author. It is a perception of the financial controllers.
C. The first bold faced part is not based on the second one, rather the opposite is true: the second one is not the condition on which the first is based, but the second is actually based on the first.
D. The second bold faced part is not the opinion of the author, it is the opinion of the financial controllers.
E. CORRECT. The first boldface is a perception of the financial controllers and the second is the opinion of the financial controllers which the author calls into question.
