题目材料：

The Musical Dice Game was published under the name of Mozart, the renowned composer, shortly after his death in 1791. The Dice Game consists of 176 numbered musical fragments, each three beats long, and instructions on how to compose short waltzes by ordering selected fragments according to the throw of the dice. Some music historians contend that the Dice Game was not authored by Mozart, correctly asserting that Mozart did not need to rely on such a system to compose music, but their view that Mozart was too creative to have used such a device is inappropriately based on a nineteenth-century Romantic concept of composers. In fact, Mozart loved puzzles and games, and equivalent fragments exist in his own handwriting. Moreover, countless music professionals contemporary with Mozart explored and promulgated new compositional methods. Indeed, nearly every prominent composer of Mozart`s day created a dice game. The triviality of the music produced by the Dice Game, however, strongly suggests that someone other than Mozart authored the game, basing it loosely on fragments discarded by Mozart.

Which of the following statements about Mozart and The musical Dice Game is most consistent with the view expressed by the author of the passage?

AThe existence of equivalent musical fragments in Mozart`s own handwriting suggests that Mozart wrote the game.
BThe fact that the game was published after Mozart`s death suggests that someone other than Mozart composed it.
CMozart selected the musical fragments used in the game, but the rules for ordering them by throwing dice were created by someone else.
DSince Mozart did not need to rely on such a compositional device, it is unlikely that he authored the game.
EMozart may have experimented with creating a dice game, but he did not produce the one published under his name
