  2. B. The branch has ten computers.
  3. C. The branch's book stock is small.
  4. D. Computer sessions are free.

Answer: A. Door counts and computer logs for a month show 3,000 visitors, of whom 2,100 booked a computer session and 600 borrowed a book.

Counted visitors, with most using computers and few borrowing.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. The branch has ten computers.
Having computers doesn't show they are the main draw.
C. The branch's book stock is small.
Stock size doesn't measure visitor behaviour.
D. Computer sessions are free.
Cost doesn't measure visitor behaviour.
