Jane: Television programs and movies that depict violence among teenagers are extremely popular. Given how influential these media are, we have good reason to believe that these depictions cause young people to engage in violent behavior. Hence, depictions of violence among teenagers should be prohibited from movies and television programs, if only in those programs and movies promoted to young audiences.
Maurice: But you are recommending nothing short of censorship! Besides which, your claim that television and movie depictions of violence cause violence is mistaken: violence among young people predates movies and television by centuries.
Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens Jane's argument?

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens Jane’s argument?
A.The most violent characters depicted in movies and on televisionprograms are adult characters which are portrayed by adult actors.
B.The movies that have been shown to have the most influence on young people’s behavior are those that are promoted to young audiences.
C.The people who make the most profits in the movie and television industry are those who can successfully promote their work to both young and old audiences.
D.Many adolescents who engage in violent behavior had already displayed such behavior before they were exposed violence in movies.
E.Among the producers who make both movies and televisionprograms, many voluntarily restrict the subject matter of films directed toward young audiences
“Hence, depictions of violence among teenagers should be prohibited from movies and televisionprograms, if only in those programs and movies promoted to young audiences.” 结论是应该禁止面向年轻观众的电影中的暴力镜头。
B.The movies that have been shown to have the most influence on young people’s behavior are those that are promoted to young audiences. 实践证明最能影响年轻人行为的电影是面向年轻观众的电影。(若此为真,说明如果面向年轻观众的电影中有很多暴力镜头,很有可能鼓动年轻人的暴力行为。因而,禁止这种镜头显然对于制止年轻人的暴力倾向有帮助。)
E.Among the producers who make both movies and televisionprograms, many voluntarily restrict the subject matter of films directed toward young audiences
