Improved technology and equipment

[wawan_andrean]

Improved technology and equipment often result in fewer injuries during high-risk activities such as rock climbing and scuba diving. But participant education also plays a large role in reducing the number of injuries sustained during these activities. People who are poorly trained in these activities run a much higher risk of injury even if provided with the latest and best equipment.

Which of the following can be properly inferred from the information above?

A. Training is a more important safety factor than equipment in high-risk activities.
B. People who are properly trained in their activities do not sustain injuries.
C. The safety benefits of the latest equipment can be offset by inadequate preparation.
D. Rock climbing and scuba diving are more risky than any other activities.
E. People with the latest equipment often neglect proper training.

IMO C.
A also sounds right, but in A we are treating "training" as more important factor above "good equipments".....

However, as per premise... they are equally important..but if given less importance to training may result in injury even if we use good equipments.

C.
conclusion is "People who are poorly trained in these activities run a much higher risk of injury even if provided with the latest and best equipment." Hence, it can be inferred that "The safety benefits of the latest equipment can be offset by inadequate preparation"

C....

The stimulus does not support "more", they can be equally impotant. However, the stimulus does not support "equally important" also. So, A is ruled out.
