Which if the following, if true, most logically completes the argument?

Aroca
County’s public schools are supported primarily by taxes on property.The county plans to eliminate the property tax and support schools with a new three percent sales tax on all retail items sold in the county.Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through property taxes, but implementation of the plan would not necessarily reduce the amount of money going to Aroca County public schools, because ______.
A.many Aroca County
residents have already left the county because of its high property taxes
B.a shopping mall likely to draw shoppers from neighboring counties is about to open in Aroca County

C.at least some Aroca County
parents are likely to use the money they will save on property taxes to send their children to private schools not funded by the county
D.a significant proportion of parents of Aroca County
public school students do not own their homes and consequently do not pay property taxes
retailers in Aroca County are not likely to absorb the sales tax by reducing the pretax price of their goods
E. retailers in Aroca County are not likely to absorb the sales tax by reducing the pretax price of their goods

答案b，这里Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through property taxes是说3%这个比例比从物业税中抽取的比例要小还是说3%的零售税整个比目前的物业税要小？而且我觉得老外的思维真的很奇怪，有时候出来一些跟题目主干无关的就说是错的，但是像这道题跟题目主干无关又是对的，不知道怎么有什么判断规则。

.......B is absolutely relevant to the stimulus of the above question. The CR said: Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through property taxes, but implementation of the plan would not necessarily reduce the amount of money going to Aroca County public schools, because ______.
Just keep your eyes on the words current and would not necessarily reduce, you will find that, even Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through property taxes, however, if B is a fact, then it is probable that Three percent of the future retail sales will be equal to or even more than the amount collected through property taxes

sales 是from该地区所有的人的，仅仅parents from school不交钱不会影响总收入

在应用新税法之前，学校资金=消费税+财产税。现在新税法下，如果E，那么学校资金=不太可能减少的消费税收入。如果选B，那么学校资金=原消费税（这时候没提变多还是变少）+新消费税来源（新开的店），一比之下，高下立判。如果E，那么学校资金还是会减少，因为少掉的财产税那款，没有新的收入补充。
