I think the answer is C.
Given that the academic classes are mandatory, the students probably don’t like those classes. Why is that important? If they don’t like it, they probably don’t want it as a career choice. By giving them a well rounded education, it would give them more paths for them to decide on a career later in life. By taking away non-essential classes, you take away that ability.
hope this helps!!
