Read the following excerpt from a US court opinion:
```
Inc., 863 So.2d 201, 208 (Fla.2003); see also Merkle, 737 So.2d at 542 n. 6 (explaining that after the expiration of a repose period, “the cause of action is extinguished”); Carr v. Broward Cty., 505 So.2d 568, 570 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987) (“At the end of the [repose] period the cause of action ceases to exist.”). Although both statutes of repose and limitations operate to bar suits and claims in relation to specified time periods, they accomplish" different purposes in doing so, A statute of limitations serves to require that a plaintiff with a known cause of action prosecute that claim diligently and within a predictable time that will allow for finality of claims prior to the-potential loss of available evidence over time. - See Statute of limitations, Black’s Law Dictio kr.D.Mass.1997) ; see also First Sw. Fin. Servs., v. Pulliam,

What is the most suitable continuation to the opinion? Your options are:
A. holding that provision is a statute of repose and noting that the word extinguished is emphasized because of its substantive effect
B. holding that provision is a statute of repose because by its own terms the provision does not just procedurally bar an untimely claim it substantively extinguishes the cause of action
C. holding that statute of repose was not subject to toiling provision applicable to statute of limitations because among other reasons it would ignore fundamental distinctions between ordinary statutes of limitations and statutes of repose
D. holding that provision has the characteristics of a statute of repose
E. holding that statute was one of repose because it embodies the most distinctive characteristic of a statute of repose the barring of the right to bring an action rather than the remedy prescribed
