The Brindle Trust asked its members to give by monthly standing order rather than by annual cheque, and four in five agreed. Standing orders are far cheaper to process than cheques, and the Trust's total receipts have risen. Yet the Trust's income net of the cost of collecting it has fallen.

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

ATo persuade members to switch, the Trust ran a two-year advertising campaign of mailings and press notices, and is still paying for it.

BOther charities of comparable size collect chiefly by standing order, and did so for years before the Brindle Trust asked its members to switch.

CA standing order is easier for a member to cancel than an annual cheque is to withhold, since ending one takes a single instruction to a bank and needs no fresh decision each year.

DThe Trust's membership has grown slightly over the same period, and the average gift per member is unchanged.

EMembers who used to add a donation when writing their annual cheque have stopped doing so now that the payment happens without them.
