Answer 2

D. The city can choose to get rid of benefits now that proposition 3 has passed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other answer choices simply seem more negative than D. The option of "choice" gives the statement a mild sense of optimism, which can make you think that this can easily be resolved. It's the most neutral, unlike the other choices that continue to just put down the city's decision with negative words like "shouldn't", "can't", and "isn't".
