Political fund-raisers tend to have greater success when soliciting donations if they let people know that others have already contributed to the cause in question. These fund-raisers must walk a fine line, however, since people will feel little motivation to donate to a political group that they believe is over-funded.

Which one of the following represents the conclusion that can be most reasonably drawn from the information in the passage above?

A) People sometimes choose to donate to political causes on the basis of their perception of others’ behavior.

B) Political groups are rarely over funded.

C) An over funded political group will rarely succeed in getting donations.

D) People will donate to a political group that is under funded.

E) People do not base their decision to donate to a political group on the political aims of the group.

My Pick is A.

" if they let people know that others have already contributed to the cause in question" i.e. decisions are being influenced by what others have done.

"people will feel little motivation to donate to a political group that they believe is over-funded" Again, influenced by what others have done ...

Only A satisfies the information given in the passage. All other options make assumptions which are not related to information given in the passage.
Thanks
