Utility companies in the United States are generally privately-owned, for-profit business ventures. One notable exception is the Tennessee Valley Authority, which was formed under the New Deal in the 1930s and continues, under federal control, to provide electricity to parts of the Southeast. Given the current pro-business climate in the region, however, it is safe to say that TVA is long overdue to be privatized.
The argument that the ownership of the Tennessee Valley Authority should be privatized rests on which of the following assumptions?
A) A pro-business climate demands the private ownership of utilities.
B) New Deal programs are outdated and should be discontinued.
C) Electricity in the Southeast will be more efficiently distributed if utilities are privately owned.
D) The price of electricity is currently higher than it would be if TVA were privatized.
E) Most residents of the Southeast prefer that TVA enter private ownership
