As part of major renovations to Flowertown's Main Street train station, consultants to the train company proposed moving the station's entrance from its current valuable Main Street location to a low-rent adjoining side street and then leasing the high-rent entrance space to retail businesses. In that way, the train company could easily pay for those and all other proposed renovations without negative impact on its tight budget.

Which of the following, if true, would most strongly support the consultants' proposal?

Select one of the following answer choices

A More train commuters are employed in businesses located on Main Street than in businesses located on the adjoining side street.

B A reliable survey of Flowertown"s commuters showed that virtually none of them would use the train any less frequently if the station"s entrance were moved.

C The high-rent block of Flowertown"s Main Street includes several buildings whose owners currently seek to replace long-standing tenants lost in recent months.

D If the station"s entrance were moved, the train company would need to begin costly renovations to its Main Street entrance space.

E Ridership on Flowertown trains declined only slightly from 1970 to 1985 while other train companies lost large numbers of commuters.
