(b) Continued public funding for research project is justified
(c) Public sppt for research project is surest indication of whether or not it is justified
(d) There is tremendous public sppt for research project because it can be indicated how public will benefit from project

D??

I will choose E.

The argument is quite convoluted, and the only thing I can interpret from the argument is that the project is very popular, even though the benefits are not clear to the public.

Only D and E are relevant answers to this question, and I will follow my gut, and choose E.
