When storing Renaissance oil paintings, museums conform to standards that call for careful control of the surrounding temperature and humidity, with variations confined within narrow margins. Maintaining this environment is very costly, and recent research shows that even old oil paint is unaffected by wide fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Therefore, museums could relax their standards and save money without endangering their Renaissance oil paintings.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A. Renaissance paintings were created in conditions involving far greater fluctuations in temperature and humidity than those permitted by current standards.

B. Under the current standards that museums use when storing Renaissance oil paintings, those paintings do not deteriorate at all.

C. Museum collections typically do not contain items that are more likely to be vulnerable to fluctuations in temperature and humidity than Renaissance oil paintings.

D. None of the materials in Renaissance oil paintings other than the paint are vulnerable enough to relatively wide fluctuations in temperature and humidity to cause damage to the paintings.

E. Most Renaissance oil paintings are stored in museums located in regions near the regions where the paintings were created.

在c和d之间纠结！！！！

The directors thought that 1) the paint can adjust; 2) the paint is the most sensitive to humidity; 3) if the most sensitive component can adjust, the whole painting is safe; and 4) let's relax the standard!

What the director missed is that something else other than the paint is very sensitive to humidity change. Thus the standard should not be relaxed.

那你的意思是c还是d？我选的c,答案说是d.

c说的是其他藏品和油画比，含了什么，是一个人无关选项。本文只说save money without endangering their Renaissance oil paintings.
d是正确的
