Zoo director: The city is in a financial crisis and must reduce its spending. Nevertheless, at least one reduction measure in next year' s budget, cutting City Zoo' s funding in half, is false economy. The zoo' s current budget equals less than 1 percent of the city' s deficit, so withdrawing support from the zoo does little to help the city' s financial situation. Furthermore, the zoo, which must close if its budget is cut, attracts tourists and tax dollars to the city. Finally, the zoo adds immeasurably to the city' s cultural climate and thus makes the city an attractive place for business to locate. Which one of the following is the main conclusion of the zoo director's argument?
A: Reducing spending is the only means the city has of responding to the current financial crisis.
B: The city's educational and cultural climate will be irreparably damaged if the zoo is forced to close.
C: It would be false economy for the city to cut the zoo's budget in half.
D: City Zoo's budget is only a very small portion of the city's entire budget.
