A transportation company is considering expanding its services to a new city. The company has analyzed data on the potential demand for its services in the new city, including the number of residents, the number of businesses, and the average daily temperature. The company has also gathered data on the number of residents in neighboring cities and the distances between the new city and those neighboring cities.
Based on the data, which of the following would be the best indicator of the potential demand for the transportation company's services in the new city?
A) The average daily temperature B) The number of businesses in the new city C) The number of residents in the new city D) The number of residents in neighboring cities E) The distances between the new city and the neighboring cities
The correct answer is C, the number of residents in the new city, as it directly reflects the potential demand for the transportation company's services. The other options may have indirect impacts on demand, but they are not as directly relevant as the number of residents.

Temperature is not the decisive factor per se. It is unrelated.
B) The number of businesses in the new city
Same as (A) the number of business is not directly linked with the potential demand of transportation
C) The number of residents in the new city
This is directly related to the potential customers of the company and the relationship between the number of residence and the potential customers is well established in the prompt of the question. Let's keep it.
D) The number of residents in neighboring cities
This is not directly related and the question statement did not tell us anything about the the number of residents in neighboring cities hence we cannot establish the link between the number of residents in neighboring cities and potential demand of transportation.
E) The distances between the new city and the neighboring cities
Same as (A).
Answer: C
