At Corven the engineer reads the brine tank at noon and the storeman reads the ice store, either standing in for the other when away. Both are watched against the same set point, and the log carries the reading and the taker's initials. Ice from a can whose brine passed the set point splits when handled. Last week's log shows the point passed on three days, under the engineer's initials each time.

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

AOn three days last week the ice in the Corven store was held past the set point, the store being the instrument the works keeps a man of its own on.

BOn three days last week the brine in the Corven tank passed the set point, the engineer being the man who takes the reading at the tank at noon.

CEvery block cut at Corven on one of last week's three days will split when it is handled, the brine those cans stood in having gone past the point the works watches its temperatures against.

DThe engineer's initials against last week's three entries do not fix which of the two instruments those readings came from, and the log carries nothing else that would.

EA tank read once a day may pass the set point between readings, so the log understates the days it went over.
