Administering eye drops prior to an ophthalmic examination is mandatory for a clearer view of the anatomic details of eye. Post examination, the patients are usually warned that since their vision would be hazy for a while, they would be better off staying away from driving for atleast 24 hours. However, a recent hospital study featuring in-patients, questioned the usefulness of abstaining for 24 hours when the effect of eye drops wanes within 4 hours. This result indicates that many eye patients who had eye drops prior to the examination are unlikely to follow the physician's precautions.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument above?
A. People, when they know that they will receive eye drops, make alternate transport arrangements to take them home.
B. Some patients request the doctors not to give them eye drops that blur vision if they will have to drive to get home afterward.
C. The subjects in the hospital study generally rated their abilities more conservatively than they would if they were outside the framework of a scientific experiment.
D. The subjects in the hospital study were also questioned about the time necessary to regain abilities that do not play an important role in driving safely.
E. Awareness of the effect of eye drops is higher among the general population than it was among the subjects in the hospital study.
