In one state, all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinances. A petition entitled “Petition for Statewide Smoking Restriction” is being circulated to voters by campaign workers who ask only, “Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction?" The petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government that are open to the public.
Which of the following circumstances would make the petition as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide?
A. Health costs associated with smoking cause health insurance premiums to rise for everyone and so affect nonsmokers.
B. In rural areas of the state, there are relatively few retail establishments and government offices that are open to the public.
C. The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does.
D. There is considerable sentiment among voters in most areas of the state for restriction of smoking.
E. The state law would not affect existing local ordinances banning smoking in places where the fire authorities have determined that smoking would constitute a fire hazard.

答案到底是B还是C?  哪位朋友可以帮忙解释下，我脑子被转晕了：（

我觉得答案应该是C
题目问“在哪种情况下，voter是被误导的”

在C选项描述的情况下：想禁烟的voter会赞成petition，但如果petition成功了，state law就会取代local ordinances，最后结果反而是禁烟更加不严格了。
在这种情况下，voter为禁烟而投票，投票结果反而不利于禁烟，所以被误导了。

B选项描述的情况，好像和题目问的东西没什么关系吧。
