Nearly all mail that is correctly addressed arrives at its destination within two business days of being sent. In fact, correctly addressed mail takes longer than this only when it is damaged in transit. Overall, however, most mail arrives three business days or more after being sent.
If the statements above are true, which one of the following must be true?
(A) A large proportion of the mail that is correctly addressed is damaged in transit.
(B) No incorrectly addressed mail arrives within two business days of being sent.
(C) Most mail that arrives within two business days of being sent is correctly addressed.
(D) A large proportion of mail is incorrectly addressed.
(E) More mail arrives within two business days of being sent than arrives between two and three business days after being sent.
Please explain your answers. Later I will give official answer....

IMO C. My explainations are as follows -
A - Not always true because, what if large proportion of it was incorrectly addressed? in this choice it is assumed that most mail was correctly addressed but damaged which may not be the case always
B - The stimulus doesnt talk about incorrectly addressed mails.
C - Nearly all mail correctly addressed arrives within 2 days. If in the overall, there were some mails that arrived in 2 days, the chances of them correctly addressed are high. This is correct ans
D - Incorrectly addressed mails are not mentioned in stimulus
E - These details are not provided in the stimulus
I am still learning stuff in CR, so please correct me if you find anything illogical or if something does not make sense.
