A string passes the maker's check if its gauge is within two hundredths of the figure printed on it, and a set carrying one figure is sold as matched when every string has passed. So a matched set can hold two strings four hundredths apart, and a player who finds his set uneven need not have been sold a faulty one.

The reasoning in which one of the following is most closely parallel to the reasoning above?

AA string once over-tightened will not hold its note, and every string on this harp has been. So none of them holds its note.

BA batch of nails passes when its average length is within a millimetre of the stamped figure, so it may hold nails far outside it; a joiner with a short one has no grievance.

CA brick passes within three millimetres of its stated length; a pallet is squared when every brick passes. So one may hold bricks six millimetres apart, and uneven courses are no proof.

DNo reel of gut leaves the works untested, and this reel has not been tested. So it has not left the works.

EA wire passes within two hundredths of the stated gauge, and a coil is even when every wire passes. So every even coil holds wires four hundredths apart.
