least efficiently run government bureaucracies

Editorial: When legislators discover that some public service
is not being adequately provided, their most
common response is to boost the funding for that
public service. Because of this, the least efficiently
run government bureaucracies are the ones that most
commonly receive an increase in funds.
The statements in the editorial, if true, most strongly
support which one of the following?
(A) The least efficiently run government
bureaucracies are the bureaucracies that
legislators most commonly discover to be
failing to provide some public service
adequately.
(B) When legislators discover that a public service is not
being adequately provided, they never respond to
the problem by reducing the funding of the
government bureaucracy providing that service.
(C) Throughout the time a government bureaucracy is run
inefficiently, legislators repeatedly boost the
funding for the public service that this
bureaucracy provides.
(D) If legislators boost funding for a public service, the
government bureaucracy providing that service will
commonly become less efficient as a result.
(E)The most inefficiently run government
bureaucracy receives the most funding of any
government bureaucracy.

[spoiler]Isn't E also strengthening the argument?[/spoiler]

Editorial: When legislators discover that some public service
is not being adequately provided, their most
common response is to boost the funding for that
public service. Because of this, the least efficiently
run government bureaucracies are the ones that most
commonly receive an increase in funds.

CONCLUSION: Less efficient agencies get MORE funds.

EVIDENCE: Legislators give more $$ to public services that aren't functioning.

ASSUMPTIONS: Public services are run by bureaucracies; bureaucracies are getting the funds directly.

QUESTION REPHRASE: What would SUPPORT the conclusion?

PREDICTION: Something showing continued inefficiency.

IMO, A. It is the clearest restatement of the passage. E uses some pretty extreme language ("most"..."the most"..."of any"...). Those words make me nervous. :-)

I think we should discard the option E on the basis of extreme language.
Thanks for the detailed explanation Vivian.

OA is A
