Read the passage.

The local library should use its grant toward starting a summer reading program instead of buying new books. It does not matter if the library buys new books if no students come to the library. Having a summer reading program will encourage students to visit the library. They can then check out the many books that the library has already bought. The reading program can also increase interest in reading by offering students prizes for reading books during the summer.

Which statement provides a new claim that challenges the original claim?

a-The books at the local library are old and need to be replaced.
b-Increasing the number of books in the library will help students learn.
c-The grant should be used to buy more books instead of starting new programs.
d-Adding new books to the library will make students more excited about reading.
