For the first time in history, more televisions than people can be found in American households. According to recent research, the average household has 2.55 residents and contains 2.73 televisions. However, by employing such costly manufacturing processes as plasma technology and flat screens, televisions are becoming too expensive for the typical consumer. As a result, the average number of residents per household will again surpass the number of televisions.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument above?


A:House parties at which numerous individuals gather to view popular television shows on one television set have increased three hundred percent during the past year.


B: More than one million legal immigrants enter the United States each year.


C: New devices such as video-enabled personal digital assistants and music players are increasingly purchased for use as a primary source of information and entertainment.


D: As new technologies become more commonplace, manufacturing and retail costs normally decline.


E: As a result of technological advances, new televisions are increasingly enabled with some features, such as Internet browsing, traditionally associated with other household devices.
