题目材料：

Change in the level of urbanization (the proportion of the population inhabiting towns) following the mid-fourteenth-century plague epidemic in England is a contentious issue. Some scholars argue that high urban mortality levels combined with reduced rural-to-urban migration may have meant a decline in England's urbanization. Alternatively it can be maintained that the cloth industry's expansion and a general rise in living standards in the late fourteenth century may have increased per capita demand for urban goods and services. Given the direct correlation between rising incomes and a growth in urbanization, which has been seen as typical of preindustrial economies, it is thus possible that, even if England's urban population underwent an absolute decline in this period, the urban sector still grew in relative terms.

Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence?

A.It cites a claim that has been made by some scholars and lays out an alternative claim.
B.It identifies a relationship between two phenomena discussed earlier and speculates that both may derive from a particular cause.
C.It notes that a particular tendency has been seen as typical but suggests that that tendency may not have been relevant to urbanization in England.
D.It presents a historical pattern from which it draws an inference about the main issue discussed in the passage.
E.It establishes a link between two historical events that have not previously been recognized as closely related.
