Passage

It is widely known that the rescue squads serving high mountain areas with treacherous weather save the lives of many mountain climbers every year. However, many experienced climbers believe that the rising annual toll of deaths and injuries among climbers in these regions can be significantly reduced only by completely abolishing the rescue squads.

Question
19

Which one of the following, if true, would most help to justify the apparently paradoxical belief of the experienced climbers?

It is difficult to recruit and train members for the rescue squads.

The recording of deaths and injuries tends to be more accurate in mountain regions served by rescue squads.

People who commonly take risks with their lives and health do not expect other people to take those risks to rescue them.

Most of the people injured or killed while mountain climbing were not adequately prepared for the dangers they would face.

The lower the risk of climbing a particular mountain is perceived to be, the greater the number of less competent climbers who attempt to climb it.
