I think it is A..

If the number of spending bill for X is less than Y but the sum of the amount of each bill for X exceeds Y (no matter how much tax payer money is involved), then the calculation will be wrong. .

Not sure whether I am right or not.. !!
Peace

IMO B

I am not sure If I understood the question correctly.

My guess would be B, since if we take B into effect, number of members in X or Y would alter the result.

To me C is more appropriate... As all the bills are going to pass anyways then allegation of more spending of tax payer money is useless

Conclusion:

Congressional members of X authorize more spending of tax payer's dollars than members of part Y.

Premise:

More spending bills were passed.

Assumption: The fewer spending bills of Y dont spend more taxpayers' dollars then the more spending bills of X.

Answer choice A handles this.

Hence A.

Answer A seems to be logical one out of other answer choices
