A major art theft from a museum was remarkable in that the pieces stolen clearly had been carefully selected. The criterion for selection, however, clearly had not been greatest estimated market value. It follows that the theft was specifically carried out to suit the taste of some individual collector for whose private collection the pieces were destined.

The argument tacitly appeals to which one of the following principles?

(A) Any art theft can, on the evidence of the selection of pieces stolen, be categorized as committed either at the direction of a single known individual or at the direction of a group of known individuals.

(B) Any art theft committed at the direction of a single individual results in a pattern of works taken and works left alone that defies rational analysis.

(C) The pattern of works taken and works left alone can sometimes distinguish one type of art theft from another.

(D) Art thefts committed with no preexisting plan for the disposition of the stolen works do not always involve theft of the most valuable pieces only.（C）

(E) The pattern of works taken and works left alone in an art theft can be particularly damaging to the integrity of the remaining collection.

这题不知道解体思路是什么。凭感觉觉得答案不是B就是C，但是不知道改怎么分析。请NN说一下思路把。

另外，看了答案后感觉题干和选项的跳跃比较大，如果说C对的话，我觉得它隐含了一个假设，就是每个收藏者的taste都不一样。不知道这样理解对不对？

原文由被偷的艺术品不是最值钱的得出结论说他们偷这些艺术品用于个人收藏。既然用于个人收藏，当然不同的人会偷不同艺术品（假如他们品位不同），所以C用can sometimes ，就是说有着可能，但不是绝对。
