Since the ferry terminal moved to the west quay, the number of visitors to the old town has fallen by a third. Traders blame the move: the west quay is a fifteen-minute walk from the old town, across two roads and a working dock, where the previous terminal was two minutes away. Ferry passenger numbers themselves are unchanged, and the old town's shops and museums keep the hours they always kept.

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

AThe old town's traders have petitioned the port authority to reverse the move, and several of them have kept daily counts of the customers coming through their doors.

BVisitor numbers at the other quarters of the port, which the move left neither easier nor harder to reach, are unchanged over the same period.

CSome visitors to the old town arrive by road rather than by ferry, drawn from the surrounding district.

DA bus runs from the west quay to the old town every twenty minutes, timed to meet the ferries and free to ticketed passengers.

EThe west quay has more berths than the terminal it replaced, can take two of the larger vessels at once, and has a covered arrivals hall.
