Although the new cochleae manufactured by Medotech will cost more than twice as much as the cochlear implants now in use, Medotech implants should still be cost-effective. Not only will surgery and recovery time be reduced, but Medotech cochlear replacements should last longer, thereby reducing the need for further hospital stays.

Q:Which of the following must be studied in order to evaluate the argument presented above?

• The amount of time a patient spends in surgery versus the amount of time spent recovering from surgery.
  
  
  A
• The amount by which the cost of producing Medotech cochlear replacements has declined with the introduction of the new technique for producing them B
• The degree to which the use of Medotech cochlear replacements is likely to reduce the need for repeat surgery when compared with the use of the replacements now in use. C
• The degree to which the use of Medotech replacements are more carefully manufactured than are the replacements now in use D
