Consultant: Moving the depot from the town centre to the bypass will cut the fleet's fuel bill. Two-thirds of the fleet's journeys begin or end outside the town, and those journeys currently cross the centre in both directions. From the bypass site they would not. The bypass site is four kilometres further from the town centre than the present depot.

Which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument?

AEvery journey the fleet makes that begins or ends outside the town, and not merely the two-thirds the consultant counts, currently crosses the town centre in both directions.

BThe bypass site costs the firm no more to rent each year than the present depot in the town centre does.

CThe fleet will not have to be enlarged in the years after the move, so that the same number of vehicles goes on making the same journeys as it does now.

DThe extra fuel burned on the journeys that still reach the town centre does not cancel out the fuel saved on the two-thirds that no longer cross it.

EThe depot's staff can reach the bypass site from their homes as easily as they now reach the depot in the town centre.
