At the Deverel ropewalk rope is laid in one length and cut into coils, which go to the store and are drawn out as the order book asks. The master stamps a coil only if its yarn was hackled twice, and of the two hemps the walk buys, Ashcombe and Tarn, only Ashcombe is hackled twice. Two hundred of the three hundred coils sold last season carried the stamp.

Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the statements above?

AAt least some of the coils the walk laid from Tarn hemp last season went into the store unstamped, Tarn yarn being given a single hackling and no more.

BNo coil the walk has ever sold without the master's stamp on it was laid from Ashcombe hemp, the stamp being the mark the walk puts on a coil whose yarn it has taken through the hackle twice.

CTwo hundred of the coils the walk sold last season were laid from Ashcombe hemp, no coil taking the stamp unless its yarn was hackled twice.

DThe walk laid at least two hundred coils from Ashcombe hemp last season, that being the number of stamped coils it sold and the stamp requiring a second hackling.

EThe hundred coils the walk sold last season without the master's stamp cannot have been laid from Ashcombe hemp.
