Studies conducted on the churchgoers of Vanticana reveal that a mere 15% of the churchgoers in their 30s but over 60% of them in their 40s commit themselves to regular volunteer work. Churchgoers in their 30s comprise a huge fraction of the churchgoers of Vanticana, but this statistic has not led the church officials to be pessimistic in their predictions. They anticipate that the percentage of churchgoers who do regular volunteer work will likely not be worse off in a decade than it is today.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest grounds for the church officials' prediction?
A. Most churchgoers currently in their 30s who do not volunteer today did do volunteer work when they were younger.
B. People in their 30s become progressively more religiously inclined as they mature and are therefore significantly more likely to sign up for regular volunteer work.
C. The number of churches in the city of Vanticana and the attendance capacity of each church have been steadily increasing over the past few years and is expected to increase over the next couple of decades.
D. The incentives to volunteer – a free meal and a token of appreciation – are fewer today than were 10 years ago.
E. Even though a much larger proportion of the new churchgoers in Vanticana are likely to be younger in a few years than currently is, the new churchgoers are likely as dedicated to volunteering as the current lot is.

It seems more like a Assumption inclined question rather than a Strengthener ...
Todays 30's people though comprising a majority are not doing voluntary work but more 40's people are doing so , still church officials are not worried and predict that the situation will not worsen in a decade..
Only possible thing that comes to mind is that in a decade the 30's will reach 40's and by that time most of them will involve in regular volunteer work, only option (B) resonates my prethinking...Hence answer must be (B)

A. This statement suggests that the churchgoers in their 30s who currently do not volunteer have a history of volunteering when they were younger. This information implies that their current lack of volunteering may not be indicative of a long-term trend and that they may return to volunteering in the future. While this provides some support for the prediction, it does not directly address the anticipated percentage of churchgoers doing volunteer work in a decade.
B. This statement supports the prediction by suggesting that as people in their 30s mature, they become more religiously inclined and are more likely to engage in regular volunteer work. If this trend holds true, it provides strong grounds for the prediction that the percentage of churchgoers doing volunteer work will not decline in a decade.
C.This statement provides information about the increase in the number of churches and their attendance capacity in Vanticana. While this information is relevant to the overall church environment, it does not directly address the prediction regarding the percentage of churchgoers engaging in volunteer work.
D. This statement focuses on the incentives provided for volunteering and suggests that they are currently fewer than they were in the past. While this information may impact the motivation of some churchgoers to volunteer, it does not provide strong grounds for the prediction regarding the future percentage of churchgoers doing volunteer work.
E. This statement suggests that the new churchgoers expected to join Vanticana in the future will be as dedicated to volunteering as the current churchgoers are. While this is positive for the overall volunteering trend, it does not directly address the prediction regarding the percentage of churchgoers doing volunteer work in a decade.
