Stem says:
1. more tourists stay in hotels in Springfield than stay in the neighboring city of Harristown
2. the largest hotel in Harristown claims that more tourists stay in that hotel than stay in the Royal Arms Hotel in Springfield

So, if Royal Arms Hotel is the only hotel, (1) and (2) contradicts each other

B for me as well

A. we don't know anything about other accomodations in Harristown, except this one hotel...
B. It seems like it, since they compare this one hotel to all of those in Springfield! so this one is the winner
C. out of scope... we know nothing about the rest of the hotels in Harristown
D. again... some of the tourists who stayed in hotels in Harristown... we know nothing about the tourists and the number of hotel in this Harristown
E. may be... but we don't care about "some hotels" we care only about this one mentioned
