Studies have shown that highway drivers are less likely to drive at speeds greater than the posted speed limit if houses or buildings are in some way visible from the road. Assuming similar car, road and traffic conditions, highway drivers are more likely to drive at speeds in excess of the posted speed limit if the natural surroundings are not interrupted by buildings. Psychologists hypothesize that seeing signs of civilization reminds drivers of their responsibility to the safety of their fellow humans, thus making them more likely to obey the posted speed limit.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists’ interpretation of the study?
A. People who live in sparsely populated areas are more likely to buy cars that can drive well in excess of any speed limit.
B. Highway drivers passing a large plowed and cultivated field are more likely to obey the speed limit than those passing large field of wild flowers.
C. Traffic tends to be more congested around towns and cities.
D. Drivers are equally likely to obey the speed limit whether driving past a town with or without tall buildings.
E. Highway police officers are more densely located close to towns and cities, and therefore most citations for speeding are issued in these locations

So psychologists again haan and we have to support them too. Great.! (create more studies, print more books make the curriculam even more worse. Gosh.!)
A. People who live in sparsely populated areas are more likely to buy cars that can drive well in excess of any speed limit.
Were we going for car shopping.?
B. Highway drivers passing a large plowed and cultivated field are more likely to obey the speed limit than those passing large field of wild flowers.
I always knew wilderness brings out the wild side of the people.
|This is supporting psychologists how.? plowed and cultivated field: civilization (bring out the caring side, low speed.) wildflowers(go wild go crazy,go fast.)C. Traffic tends to be more congested around towns and cities.
So.? Irrelevant.
D. Drivers are equally likely to obey the speed limit whether driving past a town with or without tall buildings.
We need to be diplomatic here, so small towns (no tall buildings) or big towns(tall buildings) we need to show we care equally. Morality you know but the comparison was not between them, it was between the effect of civilization and wilderness on speed limits of vehicles.
E. Highway police officers are more densely located close to towns and cities, and therefore most citations for speeding are issued in these locations
So the reason was not out of care but out of fear.? If I had to go against the psychologists, I would have loved to be with you but not today maybe in another life.

Official Explanation
The credited answer is (B). If signs of civilization make highway drivers more likely to obey the speed limit, then (B) provides further. A plowed field, unlike a field of wild flowers is evidence of civilization, and if also this causes drivers to obey the speed limit, that's independent confirmation for the psychologist argument, a good strengthener.
The argument explicitly says it is equalizing for car & road & traffic conditions, so that nullifies choices (A) & (C).
Choice (D) cites the heights of buildings, which is irrelevant, not cited in the argument and not pertinent to its logic.
Choice (E) is a weakener: if obeying the speed around towns has to do with traffic cops, then that's an alternative explanation for the evidence, which takes away credibility from the psychologist explanation.
