A cost-effective solution to the problem of airport congestion and the pollution it causes is to provide high-speed train service between major cities in China, lying 300 to 800 kilometers apart. This plan would cost far less than the expansion of existing airports and would reduce the number of airplanes clogging airports and polluting the air.
Which of the following, if true, could opponents of the plan most appropriately cite as a piece of evidence for their objection to the plan?
A. In order to maintain current levels of airport congestion, significant repairs of airports must be undertaken.
B. The high-speed trains that would be used as part of such plan cause more pollution per passenger than do planes.
C. The majority of passengers departing from rural airports are flying to destinations in cities over 800 kilometers away.
D. Many new airports are being built in areas that are not yet served by high-speed train service.
E. A large proportion of air passengers in China take short-distance flights.
