When storing Renaissance oilpaintings, museums conform to standards that call for careful control of thesurrounding temperature and humidity, with variations confined within narrowmargins. Maintaining this environment is very costly, and recent research showsthat even old oil paint is unaffected by wide fluctuations in temperature andhumidity. Therefore, museums could relax their standards and save money withoutendangering their Renaissance oil paintings.
Which of the following is an assumption on which theargument depends?
A. Renaissance paintings were created inconditions involving far greater fluctuations in temperature and humidity thanthose permitted by current standards.
B. Under the current standards thatmuseums use when storing Renaissance oil paintings, those paintings do notdeteriorate at all.
C. Museum collections typically do notcontain items that are more likely to be vulnerable to fluctuations intemperature and humidity than Renaissance oil paintings.
D. None of the materials in Renaissanceoil paintings other than the paint are vulnerable enough to relatively widefluctuations in temperature and humidity to cause damage to the paintings.
E. Most Renaissance oil paintings arestored in museums located in regions near the regions where the paintings werecreated.
