题目：
During the earliest period of industrialization in Britain, steam engines were more expensive to build and operate than either windmills or water mills, the other practicable sources of power for factories. Yet despite their significant cost disadvantage, steam-powered factories were built in large numbers well before technical improvements brought their cost down. Furthermore, they were built even in regions where geographical conditions permitted the construction of wind- and water-powered factories close to major markets.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the proliferation of steam-powered factories during the earliest period of industrialization in Britain?
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the proliferation of steam-powered factories during the earliest period of industrialization in Britain?
选项:
A、In many areas of Britain, there were fewer steam-powered factories than wind- or water-powered factories in the earliest period of industrialization.
B、Unlike wind- or water-powered factories, steam-powered factories were fueled with coal, which sometimes had to be transported significant distances from the mine to the site of the factory.
C、It was both difficult and expensive to convert a factory from wind power or water power to steam power.
D、In the early period of industrialization, many goods sold in towns and cities could not be mass-produced in factories.
E、In Britain, the number of sites where a wind- or water-powered factory could be built was insufficient to provide for all of the demand for factory-produced goods at the time.
答案:
E
提问：
选了D，因为could not be mass produced所以用steam powered factory 扩散。看了答案还是不明白错在哪

请英吉老师回答。本体在C和E中徘徊，最后错选了C。E我理解的是抬杠，题目中furthermore 说steam factory 建在地理条件允许建立wind和water factory 的地方，但是E中又说这些能建造wind 和water的地方数量不够？本来就数量不够，为什么还要建steam factory? 没明白E的逻辑
