62% of baseball fans believe their favorite team will win the World Series within the next five years. But, of course, only one team can win the World Series each year, so, in a league with 30 teams, at most 5, or 16.7%, will actually win. Clearly, many of these fans' championship expectations for their favorite teams will go unmet.

In evaluating the argument, it would be most useful to determine which of the following?

A. Whether baseball will drastically change the number of teams that qualify for the playoffs during the next five years.
B. How many teams are good enough to be considered championship contenders in an average year.
C. Whether a single team is likely win the World Series multiple times during the next five years.
D. Whether each team has roughly the same number of fans.
E. How many current fans will continue to follow their teams if their championship expectations are not met.
