Councilperson X: We have an obligation to help ensure that electricity rates are the lowest possible. Since the proposed design for a new generating station would clearly allow for the lowest rates, it must be the design we endorse if we agree that we have no choice but to approve construction of a new plant. Councilperson Y: Helping to ensure the lowest electricity rates is not the council' s only job; we also have an obligation not to lower the quality of life of our community. A plant of the type specified by the design would damage our community' s air quality to such an extent that the benefit of lower rates would be outweighed. Which one of the following is an issue about which the two councilpersons disagree?
A: It is the council's responsibility to improve the community's quality of life.
B: If a new generating station is to be built, the council should endorse a plant of the type specified by the design in question.
C: A plant of the type specified by the design in question would allow for the lowest electricity rates.
D: The council should recommend the building of a new generating station.
