Angler: Fish such as suckers, shiners, and chubs are neither fun to catch nor good to eat. They should be eliminated from mountain pound to make way for trout.
Fish and Game Commissioner: The state's policy is to preserve any aquatic ecosystems that are indigenous to a given area. Interfering with fish population in these ponds would violate this policy.

Which of the following, if true, would cast most doubt on the Fish and Game Commissioner's position that the angler's proposal is a violation of state policy?

The suckers, shiners, and chubs in mountain ponds are descendants of fish brought to those ponds by anglers for use as bait in catching the once abundant trout.

The state's policy of preserving natural aquatic ecosystems favors the interest and hobbies of one group of people over those of other groups.

Suckers, shiners and chubs are dull, unattractive fish with none of the graceful beauty of trout.

People who fish in mountain ponds have an appreciation of nature than do people who never visit such areas.

In the past there have been many exceptions to the state policy.
