Of the following statements listed below, which one would be most likely to weaken the argument of the author if it were true?

1. A. The possibility of pesticides filtering into the local water region was underestimated in the past.
2. B. Funds for environmental company clean-up, which concern waste dumps that are poorly run, are reserved for rural regions only.
