The Montridge Town Council has just voted to increase the local tax rate on all new commercial businesses within the town's border. The council believes that if it acts to keep the town as residential as possible, the town will attract wealthier people who will gravitate toward the town’s charm and will not complain about an increase in property taxes.

Which of the following best expresses the logical pattern underlying the Montridge Town Council's recent decision?

A) It rationalized that a drop in revenue from one source would ultimately be offset by an increase from another source.
B) It established its distaste for commercial activity within Montridge.
C) It questioned the assumption that all commercial businesses would react to the tax hike by leaving town.
D) It believes that in order to achieve goals, they must be prioritized.
E) It weighed several options and chose the one that it believed would result in the least collateral damage.
