Politician: Nobody can deny that homelessness is a problem yet there seems to be little agreement on how to solve ...

Translation, please!
I ended up choosing the correct answer (C), but I was stuck between it and (E). E says, "If a measure is sufficient to solve a problem, any steps necessitated by that measure should be adopted."
What exactly does this mean? Is it describing the following scenario
P1: A---> B
P2: A---> C
C: Therefore, must do C
(B is the problem referred to in the answer choice)

E means that if something is guaranteed to completely solve the problem then we should adopt it. I think it's easier to think about this in terms of the argument. Did the passage tell us that raising taxes will solve the problem, or that in order to solve it, we must raise taxes? Since it's the latter, this is a necessary condition and not a sufficient condition.
