The national infrastructure for airport runways and air traf

[AsadA969]

The national infrastructure for airport runways and air traffic control requires immediate expansion to accommodate the proliferation of new private, smaller aircraft. The Federal Aviation Authority (the FAA) has proposed a fee for all air travelers to help fund this expansion. However, this fee would be unfair, as it would impose costs on all travelers to benefit only the few who utilize the new private planes.

Which of the following, if true, would allow the FAA to counter the objection that the proposed fee would be unfair?

(A) The existing national airport infrastructure benefits all air travelers,
(B) The fee, if imposed, will have a negligible effect on the overall volume of air travel.
(C) The expansion would reduce the number of delayed flights resulting from small private planes congesting runways.
(D) Travelers who use small private planes are almost uniformly wealthy or traveling on business.
(E) The Administrator of the FAA is appointed by the President, who is subject to national election.
The correct answer is C.
How E is an irrelevant choice?
Thanks Ron...

I asked this question 16 days ago. I did not get any response till today. So, did I violate any rules of the forum?
Thanks...

the "unfairness" is that this plan (supposedly) only benefits people who use private planes.

the only way to counter such a claim is to show that the plan benefits OTHER people, too.

choice E does no such thing at all.
