Ardley thins its plums to one fruit in every eight inches of bearing wood. Thinning begins in the rows the frost has missed, and last June the season ended before the crew reached the others. The rows thinned last June picked a size larger than the rows left unthinned, and the merchant pays twice as much for fruit a size larger than for fruit of the size below.

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

AEvery row at Ardley that picked a size larger last June was a row the frost had missed, the crew having got no further than those rows.

BA row the frost has missed carries more fruit than a row the frost has caught, which is why the crew begins its thinning there rather than working the block in order.

CThinning to one fruit in eight inches of bearing wood makes at least some contribution to the size at which a row of plums picks, the rows thinned last June having picked above the rest.

DNo row that Ardley left unthinned last June picked at a size the merchant pays the higher price for.

EArdley took more money for the rows it thinned last June than for the rows it left standing, fruit a size larger fetching twice the price of the size below.
