题目：
Petrochemical industry officials have said that the extreme pressure exerted on plant managers during the last five years to improve profits by cutting costs has done nothing to impair the industry’s ability to operate safely. However, environmentalists contend that the recent rash of serious oil spills and accidents at petrochemical plants is traceable to cost-cutting measures.
Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest support for the position held by industry officials?
Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest support for the position held by industry officials?
选项:
A、The petrochemical industry benefits if accidents do not occur, since accidents involve risk of employee injury as well as loss of equipment and product.
B、Petrochemical industry unions recently demanded that additional money be spent on safety and environmental protection measures, but the unions readily abandoned those demands in exchange for job security.
C、Despite major cutbacks in most other areas of operation, the petrochemical industry has devoted more of its resources to environmental and safety measures in the last five years than in the preceding five years.
D、There is evidence that the most damaging of the recent oil spills would have been prevented had cost-cutting measures not been instituted.
E、Both the large fines and the adverse publicity generated by the most recent oil spill have prompted the petrochemical industry to increase the resources devoted to oil-spill prevention.

提问：
老师请解释下c选项，觉得因为后面有个than in the preceding xxx觉得比之前五年多并不能说之前五年的事故就低。如果花的钱多导致事故数降低，则说明花钱和事故率有关，直接排除了，后来矮子里拔将军选了a。请老师解释下c并如何在考场上怎么避免这种错误
