Last year, Meadow County ordered its school cafeterias to replace all plastic utensils with bamboo utensils, citing environmental concerns. Six months later, waste-management data showed that landfill-bound utensil volume had not decreased, even though the cafeterias had fully switched to bamboo. Therefore, the county's policy has failed to reduce utensil waste and should be repealed.

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

ABamboo utensils are compostable and will break down within a year, whereas plastic utensils persist in landfills for decades.

BThe cost of bamboo utensils is nearly twice that of plastic utensils, increasing cafeteria operating expenses.

CSeveral neighboring counties have already adopted similar bamboo-only policies for their school cafeterias.

DMeadow County's cafeterias began offering more take-out lunch options at the same time the bamboo policy was introduced.

EStudents in Meadow County report that bamboo utensils are less comfortable to use than plastic utensils.
