Hi @EvanW, thanks for your post. That's right. The stimulus basically presents a dichotomy: either private for-profit corporations sponsor research, or governments do. Answer choice (C) rules out alternative funders not properly accounted for in the stimulus (individuals, other entities), thereby bolstering the argument in the stimulus (as required by this Strengthen question stem).

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
