Highway commissioner: The city council wants to remove all roadside maps from the city's business district, because these signs are often defaced. The council claims that the roadside maps are no longer necessary, because almost everyone who works in the business district owns a personal GPS device. But the business district is also a destination for a significant number of tourists who do not own GPS devices. Therefore, in order to provide these tourists with access to directions, some roadside maps are still necessary in the business district.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the commissioner's argument?
A GPS devices are frequently rendered useless because their batteries tend to die quickly.
B Roadside maps usually provide poorer directions at a greater cost than GPS devices do.
C City data indicates that most people who get lost in the city get lost in the business district.
D Virtually every tourist who visits the business district carries a pocket map that is given out at hotels.
E Defacement of roadside maps costs the city more than one million dollars each year.
