Politician: It has been proposed that the national parks in our country be managed by private companies rather than the government. A similar privatization of the telecommunications industry has benefited consumers by allowing competition among a variety of telephone companies to improve service and force down prices. Ttherefore, the privatization of the national parks would probably benefit park visitors as well. Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the politician's argument?
A: It would not be politically expedient to privatize the national parks even if doing so would, in the long run, improve service and reduce the fees charged to visitors.
B: The privatization of the national parks would produce much less competition between different companies than did the privatization of the telecommunications industry.
C: Privatizing the national parks would benefit a much smaller number of consumers to a much smaller extent than did the privatization of the telecommunications industry.
D: The privatization of the telecommunications industry has been problematic in that it has led to significantly increased unemployment and economic instability in that industry.
