Some manufacturers of computer software

Some manufacturers of computer software have proposed cutting costs by distributing instruction manuals for their programs on computer disk only, so that computer users can refer to them on a computer screen rather than having to deal with unwieldy printed manuals that are costly for manufacturers to produce.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best reason against adopting the proposal described above?

(A) Most computer users are just as comfortable using instructions on a computer screen as they are using printed manuals.
(B) Although instructions on a computer disk can be printed out cheaply using a computer printer, such printouts are less convenient to use than instructions displayed on a computer screen.
(C) Because they are expensive and inconvenient to copy, printed instruction manuals provide one of the best deterrents against the illegal copying of software, which costs manufacturers enormous profits.
(D) Instructions supplied on a computer disk are more appropriate for business and educational programs than for computer games and other entertainment software.
(E) Instructions supplied on a computer disk can be designed to provide more extensive and more easily utilized cross-references than those provided by printed manuals.

How will i figure out the best Option?

Proposal: Stop printing instruction manuals. Put the instructions on a computer disk instead.

We're looking for a reason not to adopt the proposal, so we'd like the correct answer to offer a benefit from those printed instruction manuals.

Look at answer choice C If the printed manuals serve as a deterrent to make illegal copies of the software, that would be a pretty good incentive to keep producing those printed versions, rather than switching to the disk instructions,.
