Rue du Petit-Champlain in Québec City, Canada, is a pedestrianized street—it is closed to car traffic except in special circumstances. Students in Québec City surveyed residents about a proposal to increase the amount of car traffic allowed on Rue du Petit-Champlain. The survey results suggest that residents are generally against the proposal, and the students claim that much of the survey respondents' opposition stems from concerns that allowing more car traffic would diminish the distinctive character of the street.
Which quotation from a survey respondent would best illustrate the students' claim?

A
"Rue du Petit-Champlain is one of the most unusual streets in Québec City. I would hate to see it become just like any other street."
B
"A lot of the businesses on Rue du Petit-Champlain depend on foot traffic. If fewer people walk on the street because there are more cars, those businesses might struggle."
C
"People behind this idea hardly consulted any of us who work or live around Rue du Petit-Champlain. This proposal doesn't reflect our opinions."
D
