Paint on a new airliner is usually applied in two stages : first, a coat of primer, and then a top coat. A new process requires no primer, but instead uses two layers of the same newly developed coating, with each layer of the new coating having the same thickness and weight as a trdational top coat. Using the new process instead of the old process increase the price of a new aircraft considerably.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly indicates that it is in an airline's long-term economic intrest to purchase new airliners painted using the new process rather than the old process?
A) Although most new airliners are still painted using the old process, aircraft manufacturers now offer a purchaser of any new airliner the option of having it painted using the new process instead.
B) A layer of primer on an airliner weighs more than a layer of the new coating would by an amount large enough to make a difference to that airliner's load-bearing capacity.
C) A single layer of new coating provides the aluminium skin of the airliner with less protection against corrosion than does a layer of primer of the usual thickness.
D) Unlike the old process, the new process was originally invented for use on spacecraft, which are subject to extremes of temperatire to which airliners are never exposed.
E) Because the new coating has a viscosity similar to that of a tradational top coat, aircraft manufaturers can apply it using the same equipment as is used for a tradational top coat.
I still can justify the answer B
could someone help with their explantion...
