Farm inspector: A flock's certificate is granted on the dip register and on nothing else. The Kerrow dip register is in one hand and one ink throughout, and a book kept at the pen side over nine days does not come out like that. It was made at a sitting. A register made afterwards may still be accurate, but the rules require the entry on the day. The certificate must be withdrawn.

The statement about books kept at the pen side plays which one of the following roles in the inspector's argument?

AIt is a rule about handwriting, applied to the Kerrow book in order to establish that a register written up afterwards is as good a record of the dipping as a pen-side book.

BIt is an objection from the farm, granted at once and then set aside on the ground that the rules ask when the entry was made, not whether it is correct.

CIt is offered in support of his final conclusion, that the certificate cannot stand, rather than of anything he claims about the register.

DIt is the ground of his finding that the register was written at one sitting, a finding that reaches his conclusion only once the same-day rule is laid over it.

EIt is a generalisation offered to show that the Kerrow book was kept no worse than the neighbours'.
