Pick an answer to see how members did

Previously, Autoco designed all of its cars itself and then contracted with specialized parts suppliers to build parts according to its specifications. Now it plans to include its suppliers in designing the parts they are to build. Since many parts suppliers have more designers with specialized experience than Autoco has, Autoco expects this shift to reduce the overall time and cost of the design of its next new car.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports Autoco’s expectation?

(A) When suppliers provide their own designs, Autoco often needs to modify its overall design.

(B) In order to provide designs for Autoco, several of the parts suppliers will have to add to their existing staffs of designers.

(C) Parts and services provided by outside suppliers account for more than 50 percent of Autoco’s total costs.

(D) When suppliers built parts according to specifications provided by Autoco, the suppliers competed to win contracts.

(E) Most of the Autoco’s suppliers have on hand a wide range of previously prepared parts designs that can readily be modified for a new car.

Here, we have to find the option that strengthens the argument.
Premise: Many parts suppliers have more designers with specialized experience than Autoco.
Conclusion: Autoco plans to include part suppliers in its car designing team because they have more specialized experience in building parts, and as such, for Autoco to achieve a reduction in the overall time and the cost of the design of its next new car.

OPTION A - INCORRECT
This option is invalid because Autoco's expectation is not concerned about the modification of its design, rather its experience is to reduce the overall time and cost of the design of its next car production.

OPTION B - INCORRECT
This option claims that Autoco's suppliers employ new staffs of designers to produce designs for Autoco which doesn't support the argument.

OPTION C - INCORRECT
We are less concerned about Autoco's total costs as this is not its expectation.

OPTION D - INCORRECT
It was not stated in the argument whether or not the suppliers win contracts after building parts in accordance with Autoco's specifications.

OPTION E - CORRECT
This is true because the suppliers have designers with specialized experience which will reduce the overall time and cost of the designs of its next car.
