When three TNB-owned Titanium Alloy-built airbuses crashed in the same month, the TNB company ordered three new Titanium alloy hyper airbuses as replacements. This decision surprised many in the aviation industry because, ordinarily when a product is involved in accidents, users become reluctant to buy that product.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best indication that the TNB company’s decision was logically well supported?

A) Although during the previous year only one Titanium Alloy built airbuses crashed, competing manufacturers had a perfect safety record.

B) The Titanium Alloy built airbuses crashed due to pilot error, but because of the excellent quality of the planes there were many survivors.

C) The Federal Aviation Association issued new guidelines for airlines in order to standardize safety requirements governing preflight inspections.

D) Consumer advocates pressured two major airlines into purchasing safer airplanes so that the public would be safer while flying.

E) Many Titanium Alloy Airplane Company employees had to be replaced because they found jobs with the competition

The question or options seem incorrect, because according to the question
part 1: When three TNB-owned Titanium Alloy-built airbuses crashed in the same month,
part 2: The TNB company ordered three new Titanium alloy hyper airbuses as replacements. These are not the same as the previous ones.
part 3: This decision surprised many in the aviation industry because, ordinarily when a product is involved in accidents, users become reluctant to buy that product.
Conclusion: The company has bought new product post accident and this decision has surprised many in the aviation industry.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best indication that the TNB company’s decision was logically well supported?
ie) took the correct decision to buy a new airbus and not the same one.

OA: B) The Titanium Alloy built airbuses crashed due to pilot error, but because of the excellent quality of the planes there were many survivors.

According to this option there was no issue in the 'The Titanium Alloy built airbuses' and it crashed because of pilot's error, so company should have bought the same aircraft and not switched to a new one.

Please explain how B is the right answer

...... Titanium Alloy-built airbuses ......... three new Titanium alloy hyper airbuses as replacements......
In my opinion,
There is no reason to assume airbuses and hyper airbuses are the same product.
