The spokesman for the Ministry of Transport announced that the ministry has decided to pave roads with underground wiring as an alternative to spreading salt on the ice- and snow-covered roads. However, an official in the Ministry, who opposes the Ministry's decision, was quoted saying that due to the high initial costs, the project cannot be cost-effective .

Which of the following, if true, most weakens the official's objection to the Ministry's decision?

A) Wiring roads has proved to be an effective means of preventing the accumulation of snow.
B) Recent surveys indicate that ice-covered roads are the number one cause of car accidents in the winter.
C) Last year, the Ministry of Transport spent a third of its budget on winter road maintenance in fuel, salt and personnel.
D) Several countries, which have already wired their roads, still use salt as an additional measure.
E) The price of electricity, on which the underground wiring system runs, has been increasing steadily over the past ten years.

After an exclusive reasoning on which of the options is the most suitable one that tends to interpret the ministers decision, here is an highlight of each options;

Option A - CORRECT.
However, this statement tends to acknowledge'' the use of underground wiring as an effective means of preventing accumulation of snows on covered roads by the spokesman of the Ministry of transport. Although this alternative has however not been cost effective over the years, due high initial cost.

Option B - INCORRECT.
This statement has diverted from the initial discussion reason why underground wiring has been an option and why it should not be implemented again.

Option C - INCORRECT.
Although, this statement has talked about the budget spent on winter road maintenance in previous year, but in the initial statement by the spokesman of Ministry of transport it wasn't stated that one third was spent on it.

Option D - INCORRECT.
In the initial statement, other countries expenses was not stated as a measure or reason why the continuation of the use of underground wiring should/not be used in preventing accumulation of snows covering the road during the winter period.

Option E - INCORRECT.
Although, in the initial statement, the reason why the official in the ministry opposes the spokesman of the ministry of transport was because of the supposed high cost of running an effective means of preventing accumulation of snows by the use of underground wiring, unlike the usual spreading of salt on the ice- and snow covered roads, which that opposition does not indicate how long the high cost has been in existence.
