Read the following excerpt from a US court opinion:
```
§ 20.2b, at 906 n. 21 (5th ed.2005). And, finally, the petitioner argues that the district court was required to grant her request for an evidentiary hearing under Townsend v. Sain, 372 U.S. 293, 312-13, 83 S.Ct. 745, 9 L.Ed.2d 770 (1963). As a matter of statutory law, we reject the Commonwealth’s importunings. Here, the petitioner adduced extensive evidence in the state court. The exact manner in which she elected to make the point is less important than the fact that she did make the point; her proffer went directly to the merits of the claims that she later sought to pursue in the federal court proceedings. We conclude, therefore, that the district court was not statutorily prohibited from taking evidence on those claims. See Bryan v. Mullin, 335 F.3d 1207, 1215 (10th Cir.2003) ; Matheney v. Anderson, 253 F.3d 1025, 1039

What is the most suitable continuation to the opinion? Your options are:
A. holding that an evidentiary hearing may be used to develop the factual basis of a prisoner complaint
B. holding that  2254e2 does not apply where the petitioner diligently sought to develop the factual basis underlying his habeas petition but a state court prevented him from doing so
C. holding that when a state has given petitioner a full and fair hearing on a claim and he has failed to develop material facts to support it he is not entitled to develop further facts in a federal habeas evidentiary hearing unless he demonstrates either cause for the failure and prejudice resulting therefrom or a fundamental miscarriage of justice
D. holding federal evidentiary hearing not statutorily barred when petitioner had sought to develop factual basis for claim in state court
E. holding that when a petitioner seeks an evidentiary hearing in state court to develop the factual basis of a claim but the state court denies such a hearing entitlement to a federal court hearing is analyzed pursuant to preaedpa law rather than the standards set out in  2254e2
