Should be E, that can be the only reason why you would want to bring in new managers to terminate a project.

we need a reason why the new managers are more likely to terminate a project than the original managers.

if we negate A: project failed for reasons that the original manager could have foreseen- doesnt affect our argument, doesnt explain why original managers cannot terminate the project

if we negate E: new managers need to justify the maintenance of the project, they are not more likely to terminate the project-argument falls apart. E is the necessary assumption
