Rachmaninoff

Observatory director: Some say that funding the megatelescope will benefit only the astronomers who will work with it. This dangerous point of view, applied to the work of Maxwell, Newton, or Einstein, would have stified thier research and deprived the world of beneficial applications, such as the development of radio, that followed from that research.
If the statements above are put forward as an argument in favor of development of metatelescope, which one of the following is the strongest criticism of that argument?
A) It appears to the authority of experts who cannot have known all the isssues involved in construction of the megatelescope.
B)It does not identify those opposed to development of the megatelescope.
C)It launches a personal attack on opponents of the megatelescope by accusing them of having a dangerous point of vew.
D)It does not disinguish between the economic and the intellectual senses of benefit.
E)It does not show that the proposed megatelescope research is worthy of comparison with that of eminent scientists in its potential for application. Ans E, why why why?

This is a kind of flaw of fallacious analogy, close to "straw man" fallacy. The argument does not address why those oppose the funding are wrong, instead, it applies the opposition to something very popular, in which we do not have any sense to access the comparability between the issue at point and the great works mentioned.
