I have an issue with the word "significantly" in option B. Does that mean the narrow boards were not significantly but little less expensive than the wide boards. In that case it would not strengthen the argument.
Now see an interesting option which almost everyone is rejecting.
What about C
If the number of rooms in big houses were more than that in small houses , it would mean that bigger houses would need more floor area to be covered and hence ideally they should use wide boards which would be required lesser in numbers. But they used narrow ones which must be required in substantially more numbers and may lead up to more cost which might point towards status symbol thing.
I still think OA is debatable and would be happy to join in.
