Agronomist: Growers in the Serrado district who switched to sensor-scheduled irrigation, nearly all of whom had relaid their field pipework in the seasons before they switched, now use less water than growers still watering on a fixed calendar. The saving is not, as is usually claimed, the work of the sensors; it is the work of who bought them. Worn pipework is where most of a fixed-calendar grower's water goes.

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

ANo grower in the sensor-scheduled group was still on his original pipework when he bought his system, and none relaid that pipework only afterwards.

BFixed-calendar growers water on set days whatever the weather has done, which in most seasons means at least one watering more than a sensor would call for.

CAldaven growers next door, whose pipework a regional scheme relaid a decade ago, use no more water per hectare than Serrado growers of either kind, whatever their scheduling.

DAt least one Serrado grower who relaid his pipework but bought no sensors reports a small fall in water use.

EAmong growers who had already relaid their pipework, those who kept to a fixed calendar cut their water use over the same seasons by no less than the sensor-scheduled growers did.
