Quarry manager: A monitor has stood at Wykes farm since 2018, and no reading it has taken has passed the limit our licence sets. Wykes lies between our face and the village, so the village cannot be feeling more than Wykes does. Every complaint the village sends names the hour of a blast, but the complaints must be about something other than our blasting.

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

AVibration from a quarry face falls away with distance alike in every direction, whatever the nature and the depth of the ground lying between the face and the place where it is felt.

BThe village's complaints have come in heaviest in the weeks when the quarry has fired most often, and lightest in the weeks when it has fired least.

CVibration at the levels the Wykes monitor has recorded cannot be felt by a person standing indoors, the licence limit being set below the point at which anyone notices anything.

DThe limit written into the quarry's licence was set in 1996, and is stricter than the limit most other quarries in this county work to today.

EWykes farm has sent the quarry no complaint about vibration in any year the monitor has stood there.
