Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the Mayor`s explanation for the lower incidence of jaywalking among the city`s residents?
(A) Due to a sharp rise in burglaries this year, many police officers have been reassigned to patrol areas where jaywalking rarely occurs.
(B) Many people cited for jaywalking are tourists and never pay their fines.
(C) No new crosswalks have been built in the last five years in the city.
(D) The media campaign featured not only television advertisements, but also radio and newspaper advertising.
(E) The sidewalks in the city were completely replaced five years ago.
