The incessant monsoon rains are adding to the misery of urban dwellers. As the water level of Yamuna River continues to rise, panic in low-lying areas is growing. More water was released from Hathnikund Barrage on Monday, and it will reach the Yamuna by Tuesday evening. The district administration is contemplating evacuation of over 50,000 people from low-lying areas.
Which of the following, if true, would most support the decision being contemplated by the district administration?
(A) By crossing the 205 meter mark, Yamuna River surpassed the highest water level mark it had ever crossed in the last decade.
(B) The district administration of a neighboring state was late in evacuating over 20,000 people, causing 44 deaths.
(C) Over 50 boats, 68 divers, and a unit of the Disaster Management Force have been deployed to deal with any eventuality.
(D) The city government plans to set up over 160 relief camps to tackle the threat of the aftermath of flooding.
(E) Yamuna River crossed the danger level mark.

Explanation
The decision being contemplated is evacuating over 50,000 people from low-lying areas due to rising water levels in the Yamuna. We need the option that most strongly justifies or supports why evacuation is necessary.
(A) Says the river crossed its highest level in a decade, strong, but still somewhat comparative.
(B) Talks about another state’s failure, indirect evidence, not about the current situation.
(C) and (D) describe preparedness, they don’t justify evacuation, just response readiness.
(E) States that the river has crossed the danger level mark, this directly indicates a serious and immediate threat, making evacuation a logical and necessary step.
