　　In the country of Laurelia, legal restrictions on the sale of lock-picking equipment were relaxed ten years ago, and since then Laurelia s burglary rate has risen dramatically.

　　Which of the following, if true, gives the strongest support to the argument?

　　Laurelia s overall crime rate has risen dramatically over the last ten years.

　　There is wide popular support in Laurelia for the reintroduction of strict limits on the sale of lock-picking equipment.

　　The reintroduction of strict limits on the sale of lock-picking equipment in Laurelia would not prevent legitimate use of this equipment by police and other public safety officials.

　　Most lock-picking equipment used in Laurelia is fragile and usually breaks irreparably within a few years of purchase.
