Read the following excerpt from a US court opinion:

and therefore, would benefit from a judgment in this action, is within the complete control of the defendant. In May, 1995, the Commissioner claimed that a search of her records was being conducted to identify all potential class members, but that she would need at least another six months to complete the process.

See Ventura v. New York City Health and Hosp. Corp., 125 F.R.D. 595, 599 (S.D.N.Y.1989) ; Lewis v. Gross, 663 F.Supp. 1164, 1169

What is the most suitable continuation to the opinion? Your options are:
A. holding that a plaintiffs lack of knowledge regarding the number of affected persons does not bar class certification when defendant has the means to identify those persons at will
B. holding that states are persons but conceding that this change was not envisioned as broadening the class of persons who could be held liable under the act
C. holding that bond protecting those persons who do work or furnish materials did not protect bank lending money to contractor for payment to those persons
D. holding that the mere existence of individualized factual questions with respect to the class representatives claim will not bar class certification
E. holding lay persons performing tasks relating to real estate transactions were engaged in the unauthorized practice of law and explaining it is the duty of the court to protect the public from the activity of those who because of lack of professional skills may cause injury whether they are members of the bar or persons never qualified for or admitted to the bar quotation marks and citation omitted
