Though the strict syntax of the current prevailing animation scripting language has entirely replaced the now deprecated notation of former script generations, the fact remains that amateurs and professionals who lack up-to-date training continue to produce code in such relatively primitive languages, despite the browsers' software houses attempt to enforce progress by updating common browsers so that they cannot render the animation encoded by such scripts.

Which of the following best explains the failure of the plan devised by the software houses?

A. The new syntax prevents multiple possible interpretations of command lines in scripts while significantly increasing the time untrained code-writers must spend on debugging their syntax mistakes compared to older and more generic version of the script.

B. Certain large research and development departments or institutions require systems that can render sophisticated animations in closed computing environments which do not necessitate browser compatibility.

C. Despite the rapid rate of evolution in Internet browsing software, outdated browsers, which cannot render high-end graphics programmed in highly-structured scripts, are quickly becoming a thing of the past thanks to online updating mechanisms.

D. An online survey conducted by the giant software houses behind famous browsers such as Voyager, Firelocks, Savana, and Drome has discovered that even though some features of old scripts are available on these browsers, few people if any know that.

E. Current scripted animation training programs include, on top of comprehensive training in the most up-to-date scripting language available today, a summarized review of former reincarnations of those scripting languages, for the sake of comparison.

Premise: Though the strict syntax of the current prevailing animation scripting language has entirely replaced the now deprecated notation of former script generations.
Conclusion: Amateurs and professionals who lack up-to-date training continue to produce code in such relatively primitive languages.

Option A - Incorrect
We can't know whether the new syntax prevents multiple interpretations of command lines in scripts because the aspect of interpretation of command lines wasn't stated in the passage.

Option B - Correct
This option is correct. Research and development departments require a system that can render sophisticated animations in closed computing environments and the browsers' software houses attempt to enforce progress by updating common browsers.

Option C - Incorrect
Amateurs and professionals who lack up-to-date training continue to produce code in such relatively primitive language despite the attempt by the browsers' software houses to enforce progress by updating common browsers.

Option D - Incorrect
The passage was specific about an online survey conducted by the giant software houses. As a result, we have no concrete basis to back up this option up.

Option E - Incorrect
The current prevailing animation scripting language has entirely replaced the now deprecated notation of former script generations. Hence, we don't know if the current scripted animations program is a summarized review of former reincarnations for the sake of comparison.
