There are far fewer kidneys available for transplants than there are patients who are waiting for a new kidney. As evidence of this, nearly 85,000 patients are currently on the waiting list for a kidney transplant, but last year only 16,000 kidney transplants took place.
Which of the following is an assumption required by the argument?
A) The number of patients on the kidney waiting list has increased substantially since last year.
B) The number of kidney transplants in the last year is greater than in any previous year.
C) The number of kidney transplants that take place each year is not significantly different from the number of kidneys available over that time period.
D) The process for preparing both donors and patients for a kidney transplant often requires several consultations with a doctor and a cumbersome amount of paperwork.
E) The number of available kidneys has not increased since last year.
