If this exceptionally difficult rock-climbing face is limited to professional rock-climbers and only those amateur rock-climbers who have received special lessons regarding how to climb this face safely, most amateur rock-climbers who wish to climb here would be forced to climb other, less dangerous rock faces. To reduce the number of unsafe climbs that result in falls, we intend to implement just such a limitation.

Which of the following, if true, would most strongly supports the plan described above?

A)Professional rock-climbers are already required to undergo extensive safety training.
B)The falls from this rock face occur primarily because of the risky climbing practices of professional rock-climbers.
C)Many amateur rock-climbers would rather receive special lessons on climbing this rock face safely than be excluded from climbing it.
D)The number of falls due to dangerous climbing at this rock face has decreased in the recent past.
E)Amateur rock climbers who have not taken safety lessons regarding this rock face account for a disproportionate number of falls from this rock face.

Option A :- INCORRECT
This is true about the statement. It is required of a professional to have undergone such an extensive training before receiving such a title, but it is not sufficient enough in respect of an effective solution to the described challenge.

Option B :- INCORRECT
Professional rock climbers will not find it difficult to avoid risky rock climbing practices since they have been trained in that line. Risky rock climbing practices may not be associated with professional rock climber. So this statement is not in support of the argument.

Option C :- INCORRECT
This is partially true because it is in support of the plan but it does not cover the totality of the idea.

Option D :- INCORRECT
It is obvious that the idea of the question statement was developed for the purpose of reducing the number of falls. But we have no statistical data to show the number of falls.

Option E :- CORRECT
YES, From the question statement, it was recorded that this rock climbing phase under consideration is exceptionally difficult and therefore requires a special training, Professionals in rock climbing are expected to have taken training that will help them to withstand any challenges that could be encountered in the process of climbing the rock. While amateurs who are not specially trained for this face can encounter some difficulties which might result to a fall, hence the conclusion extracted from this from this statement is very coherent with the question.
