Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

(B) Five years ago, about half of the software programs used on home computers had been illegally copied rather than purchased.
(C) Most people who have home computers use their computers more frequently the longer they have them.
(D) Few people who prefer to copy computer software programs illegally cannot copy the software programs they want because they have no acquaintances who have those software programs.
(E) On average, people with home computers have the same number of software programs today as people with home computers did five years ago.
