Until now Cardiac defibrillators were bulky machines accessible at home through insurance only to people with a known risk of tachycardia. Consequently, a number of people not identified at risk for tachycardia die due to lack of access to a defibrillator. Portable Defibrillators has released a small cheaper defibrillator that everyone can use. Consequently, deaths due to lack of access to the defibrillator will go down significantly in the near future.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the author’s claim?
A. It will be easier to carry a portable defibrillator than a regular defibrillator outdoors.
B. Most insurance companies are likely to provide the defibrillator from Portable Defibrillators at an affordable price to patients over 50, the age group where unexpected onset of tachycardia is most prevalent.
C. Unlike bulky defibrillators, defibrillators from Portable Defibrillators do not require a stable persistent power source and can be operated using batteries.
D. Bulky defibrillators were provided at free of charge to patients who are at risk for tachycardia.
E. The defibrillator from Portable Defibrillators uses the same mechanism to cure tachycardia as bulky defibrillator does.

Will go for B
conclusion - - > deaths due to lack of access to the defibrillator will go down significantly in the near future.---> it means somehow the new defibrillator will be accessible to those group that suffered maximum deaths because of unavailabiliry
A--> does not matter if it is portable or not
C---> citing an advantage is irrelevant
D---> we are conserned with portable defrib now
E---> out of scope.
Consider kudos if that helped

+1 for C
A - Incorrect. The word 'Portable' means it would be easier to carry. Hence this doesn't strengthen
B - Incorrect. Patient's age is not mentioned in the argument. Hence, this is not relevant.
C - Correct. The use of defribillators would be maximum only when it can be accessed from anywhere. The deaths increased as it was not accessible earlier. This statement tells us that they dont require a stable power source and they can be accessed from anywhere using batteries.
D - Incorrect. The charge of defribillators is unnecessary.
E - Incorrect. Even if the portable defribillator didn't use the old tech. It can use the new tech to cure.
