When Brad offered his old wooden desk at a garage sale, no one bought it, even though he offered it for only $10. When he offered it at the local auction house, however, someone bought it for $850. Which of the following, if true, best explains why Brad was able to sell the desk for a high price at the auction while he could not sell it for a much lower price at the garage sale?

Brad advertised that the proceeds of the garage sale would benefit a local charity, while he made no such claims for the proceeds from the auction.
B
One of the legs of the desk was shorter than the other three, producing an unbalanced writing surface.
C
The auction house specializes in selling antique furniture, which is generally valued more highly than the discarded furniture sold at garage sales.
D
Brad insisted that anyone who bought the desk had to use it as an actual workspace.
E
Prospective buyers at auctions are often more interested in the auction process than in the items up for bid.
