Since the Tarn valley path was resurfaced three years ago, walkers have reported far fewer difficulties underfoot on it. The number of rescue call-outs to the path has nevertheless risen in each of those three years, and the valley receives no more walkers now than it did before the work.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the situation described above?

ADifficulty underfoot is the commonest complaint walkers report from upland paths in the region generally, and the one most often cited when a path is put forward for resurfacing.

BThe smooth surface has drawn walkers who go much further up the valley than the old path allowed, into ground where a call-out is the only way back.

CThe resurfacing was paid for by the national park rather than by the county council responsible for the path.

DRescue teams in the valley now log every call-out they attend, including the ones they previously handled informally and left out of their published figures altogether.

EThe resurfaced section is the steepest part of the path, and it lies in the first mile of the valley, within sight of the car park.
