Option A :- Incorrect
The statement presented in the question has not mentioned anything relating to the age of people attending. Hence, it is coherent.

Option B :- Incorrect
There was no financial calculation among the factors considered, therefore, this opinion does not access the contradictions, so this solution cannot resolve the problem.

Option C :- correct
A simple and logical point if there is a drop in attendance at certain months like September and others, it means there is population overshoot in some other months that same year to measure up with population realised in the preceding year. It resolves the contradiction effectively.

Option D :- Incorrect
There is no evidence to validate the conception in the contradictions.

Option E :- Incorrect
We do not know the factor responsible for the poor turnout, therefore be improper to guess.
