C gives us a strong reason why reclamation has gotten cheaper. The nature of the mines has changed, making it less difficult to reclaim them.
B looks good EXCEPT look very carefully at the wording of the argument. It says "average cost of a coal mine". Creating fewer coal mines does not matter to this argument, because it is average cost PER mine reclaimed that we are concerned about.
In the time since the reclamation regulations were put in place, the average reclamation cost of a coal mine has gone down, even though there has been no improvement in technology. How can this be?
Possible reason: Even though technology has not improved, some other factor has changed that permits less costly reclamation.
