问题     Communication between villages and the nearest town was poor. Roads were bad; there was some attempt to keep them in order, but as each parish was responsible for its own section of road, the state of repair depends on the zeal of the parish officers. There was, however, little wheeled traffic except for farm coaches used by men of wealth. Most traffic was by means of pack horses. Travelers rode on horseback or walked. Since communication was so difficult, the local markets, held weekly at the nearest town, or the fairs, held annually at the greater cities, became important places for the exchange of goods of all kinds.  
The author’s statement about the importance of markets, and fairs is ______.

选项 A、a conclusion he draws on the basis of his main thought
B、an interesting fact he includes although it does not bear strictly on the subject matter of the passage
C、apparently contradicted by the main thought
D、a historical development which took place after the time in which the main events of the passage occurred
