Critical Reasoning

Automobile safety experts argue that, although the required installation of air bags has reduced the number of automobile-related fatalities, the most important safety feature of a car, in terms of reducing the chances of passenger fatality, remains the seat belt.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens this argument?

(A) Most automobile-related fatalities occur in crash situations in which air bags do not inflate.
(B) The drop in automobile-related fatalities that occurred after the invention of seatbelts was larger than the drop was after the invention of air bags.
(C) A passenger wearing a seat belt when the air bag does not inflate is more likely to survive than a passenger not wearing a seat belt when the air bag inflates.
(D) Passengers are currently more likely to survive automobile accidents than they have been at any time in the past.
(E) People in the passenger seat, which does not always have airbags, usually survive accidents.
