Wind farms, which generate electricity using arrays of thousands of wind-powered turbines, require vast expanses of open land.County X and County Y have similar terrain, but the population density of County X is significantly higher than that of County Y.Therefore, a wind farm proposed for one of the two counties should be built in County Y rather than in County X.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the planner’s argument?
A.County X and County Y are adjacent to each other, and both are located in the windiest area of the state. B.The total population of County Y is substantially greater than that of County X. C.Some of the electricity generated by wind farms in County Y would be purchased by users outside the county. D.Wind farms require more land per unit of electricity generated than does any other type of electrical-generation facility.
E.Nearly all of County X’s population is concentrated in a small part of the county, while County Y ’s population is spread evenly throughout the country.
