Supporters of a costly new defense advanced research projects Agency (DARPA) initiative assert that the project will benefit industrial companies as well as military itself. In many instances, military research has resulted in technologies that have fueled corporate development and growth, and this pattern can be expected to continue.
Each of the following, if true, serves to weaken the argument above EXCEPT:
A: The research initiative will occupy many talented scientists, many of whom would otherwise have worked for private corporations.
B: In past decades, DARPA has adopted an increasingly restrictive stance regarding the use of intellectual property resulting from its research.
C: A high proportion of the government resources directed towards the initiative would ordinarily have gone to tax subsidies for various business.
D: The research initiative is focused on materials development through nano-technology, which is thought to have many commercial applications.
E: The DARPA research makes use of manufacturing processes the would be cost-prohibitive for most companies to replicate.
OA: D
I understood stimulus but Logically, I could not understood any of the choices that how they strengthen or weaken.
