United Lumber will use trees from its forests for two products. The tree trunks will be used for lumber and the branches converted into wood chips to make fiberboard. The cost of this conversion would be the same whether done at the logging site, where the trees are debranched, or at United's factory. However, wood chips occupy less than half the volume of the branches from which they are made.

The information given, if accurate, most strongly supports which of the following?

AConverting the branches into wood chips at the logging site would require transporting a fully assembled wood-chipping machine to and from the site.
BIt would be more economical to debranch the trees at the factory where the fiberboard is manufactured.
CThe debranching of trees and the conversion of the branches into chips are the only stages in the processing of branches that it would be in United's economic advantage to perform at the logging site.
DTransportation costs from the logging site to the factory that are determined by volume of cargo would be lower if the conversion into chips is done at the logging site rather than at the factory.
EIn the wood-processing industry, branches are used only for the production of wood chips for fiberboard.

正确答案: D

最后结论 however... 只是说 wood chips 比branch 的运输体积小，但就没说其他的了，题目里也没有明确态度去比较两个地方的总加工成本
但D里面谈到运输费和体积有关，在加工地的话运输成本低，但我觉得要支持“wood chips 比branch 的运输体积小”的结论有点牵强。

大家怎么想的呢？
