Piste manager: Our season has always begun at the New Year. The nozzles fitted in October freeze a finer droplet, so this winter we made snow on nights that would once have given slush, and the lower runs opened three weeks early. The weeks before the New Year are the ones that fill our lodges at our highest rate. So the nozzles have paid for themselves already.

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

AThe lodges' prices for the weeks before the New Year were fixed before the nozzles were bought.

BThe snow the nozzles produce softens quickly in the sunshine, leaving the lower runs open only until midday on most days in the weeks before the New Year.

CNatural snowfall alone brought the lower runs to opening depth in the weeks before the New Year, ahead of anything the nozzles produced.

DMany of the guests in the lodges in the weeks before the New Year would otherwise have booked January weeks, when the upper runs open and carry snow.

EStaff costs at the lodges are the same whether or not the lower runs carry snow in the weeks before the New Year.
