Which of the following best provides support for the claim made by the critics above?

AGarage enterprises in Washington State now produce almost 12% of the vehicle components previously imported from South East Asia.

BThe funding of the Federal light-industry program depends on the reallocation of resources earmarked for disadvantaged groups.

CThe debate concerning the Federal light-industry program created a backlog in the Federal legislative schedule.

DThe union for Federal light-Industry workers was the prime source of the claim.
