Thatchers pay half as much again for long straw grown on the Ellerby marsh as for the same variety grown inland, though it costs the marsh growers only a little more to raise a ton than it costs the inland growers. So part of the extra that marsh straw fetches answers to something other than what it costs to raise.

Which one of the following arguments is most similar in its reasoning to the argument above?

AStraw thatches only if cut with a binder, and no eastern straw this year was. So none will thatch a roof.

BA bound county history sells for twice what a paper-covered one does, though binding costs the printer no more than covering. So none of the extra buys the binding.

CCarrock slate fetches twice what the works' clay tiles do, though a ton costs only a little more to win than a ton of tiles to fire. So part of what slate fetches is not cost.

DHandmade tiles fetch a third more than machine-pressed, though they cost only a little more to make. So a works that turns to handmade will earn more.

EA morning slot at the Bewley kiln costs half as much again as an afternoon slot, though it burns only a little more fuel. So part of that extra is not for fuel.
