题目材料：
Shoreland County recently purchased an area of wilderness land in the county to prevent it from being developed. In doing so, the county has forfeited all future property taxes on this land. Property taxes are assessed on market value, and if developed, the land would have contributed significantly to the county's overall annual tax revenue. Because of the purchase, therefore, overall annual tax revenue will be lower than it would have been if development had occurred.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
-
A.The money the county would have had to expend for services to residences or industry developed on the wilderness land would have exceeded the tax revenue from the developed land.
-
B.The market value of undeveloped properties in Shoreland County will not increase significantly in the foreseeable future.
-
C.The property taxes received by Shoreland County from the previous owners of the wilderness area were insignificant relative to the county's overall annual tax revenue.
-
D.Land near the area bought by the county will not increase significantly in market value as a result of being near wilderness that is protected from development.
-
E.Shoreland County will not in the foreseeable future prevent the development of any other land in the county.
