The demand for tires is considered to be a ?derived demand. ?That is to say, much of the demand for tires is based on the demand for cars. In a time when the demand for cars drops, the demand for tires generally drops as well, and by a similar amount.

Which of the following statements, if true, most strengthens the argument above?

A. Most urban cities have decent public transportation systems.

B. There are many people who live in urban locations who drive cars.

C. High costs for parking lead to lower demand for cars.

D. Tires wear out more quickly on urban streets due to potholes.

E. In urban locations, there are no other uses for tires besides on cars
