Groundskeeper: The pitch drains better since we sanded it last autumn. In each of the three winters before the sanding, water stood on the surface for two days at a time after heavy rain, and twice we lost a fixture to it. This winter the surface has cleared within four hours on every occasion, including after the January storm that dropped a week's rain in a day. The sanding is what did it.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

AStanding water damages the grass on a pitch as well as making it unplayable, so a surface that clears within hours is worth more to a club than the lost fixtures alone suggest.

BThe club has since had three of its other pitches sanded, on the strength of this winter's drainage figures.

CRain this winter fell as heavily, and in the same pattern, as it did in each of the three winters before the sanding.

DSanding a pitch costs a fraction of what laying new drains costs, which is why the club chose it over the drains it had been quoted for.

EThe pitch was resown at the same time as it was sanded, by the same contractor and over the same week last autumn.
