Answer choice C

I thought so at first as well....but ALL councellors agree that they don't want to disadvantage these non tax payers vs only some want to raise the rates?

Hi @Ashley-Tien-2 and @ScienceMathTutor, This is a tricky one! Ashley is correct that at first glance C seems irrelevant and that it therefore would probably be the correct answer. However, the second part of C tells us all city councilors agree that low-income residents should be able to take advantage of city-run services. If this is the case, the city councilors who think bus fares should be raised would be in a contradictory position. C is therefore evidence against this point of view. D is correct for the same reason that we thought C might be - it's irrelevant. First of all we don't care about what the voters want, but more importantly we're proposing raising the bus fare, NOT the local taxes (like D addressed).
