ASAP GIVEN 40 POINTSS Micah wrote the following argument:

Our city should start a garden lottery that would award winners a free plot of land in one of the city’s abandoned lots to encourage community gardening. Community gardening brings many benefits to a community, including a sense of belonging and opportunities to meet new people. Gardening creates personal bonds between people of all ages. As a result, people feel connected to their neighbors, and crime decreases.

Which relationship does the phrase “as a result” help clarify?

A.
The relationship between the claim that crime will decrease and the reason that community gardens foster a sense of community togetherness
B.
The relationship between the claim that community gardens bring many benefits to a community and the reason that people feel more connected to their neighbors
C.
The relationship between the claim that gardening creates bonds between people and the reason that people feel connected to their neighbors and crime decreases
D.
The relationship between the claim that free plots of land should be raffled in a lottery for community gardening and the reason that, as a result, neighbors will communicate more, and crime will decrease
