Accountant: A fellow accountant recently sent me an e-mail of advice that featured Hofstadter’s Law, a maxim cautioning that a project always takes longer than one expects, even when one accounts for Hofstadter’s Law. With that precept in mind, I have revised my initial projection of the time required for my audit of our company’s foreign accounts from six months to eight months.
If the statements above are true, which of the following do they best support?
A) The audit will take less than the projected eight months.
B) The audit will take the projected eight months.
C) The audit will take more than the projected eight months.
D) The accountant has not accounted for Hofstadter’s Law.
E) The audit is unlikely to be accurate.

Hofstadter’s Law states that one project takes more time than one expects.
since the accountant considered or estimated that his project has to be completed within 6-8 months. and we have to prove the argument given in passage true. Hence the time taken to complete the project in real will be more than the estimated time of accountant and C explains same.
Hence Answer is C
