A public-service advertisement advises that people
who have consumed alcohol should not drive until
they can do so safely. In a hospital study, however,
subjects questioned immediately after they
consumed alcohol underestimated the time
necessary to regain their driving ability. This result
indicates that many people who drink before
driving will have difficulty following the
advertisement's advice.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument above?

(A) Many people, if they plan to drink alcohol, make arrangements beforehand for a
nondrinker to drive them home.

(B) The subjects in the hospital study generally rated their abilities more conservatively than
would people drinking alcohol outside a hospital setting

(C) Some people refrain from drinking if they will have to drive to get home afterward.

(D) The subjects in the hospital study were also questioned about the time necessary to regain
abilities that do not play an important role in driving safely.

(E) Awareness of the public-service advertisement is higher among the general population than it
was among the subjects in the hospital study.

Answer to follow after some feedback. Thank you
