C
Editor: Most of the books of fiction we have published were submitted by literary agents for writers they represented; the rest were received directly from fiction writers from whom we requested submissions. No nonfiction manuscript has been given serious attention, let alone been published, unless it was from a renowned figure or we had requested the manuscript after careful review of the writer' s book proposal. Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the editor's statements?
A: Most of the books that the publishing house publishes that are not by renowned authors are books of fiction.
B: The publishing house is less likely to give careful consideration to a manuscript that was submitted directly by a writer than one that was submitted by a writer's literary agent.
C: Any unrequested manuscripts not submitted by literary agents that the publishing house has published were written by renowned figures.
D: Most unrequested manuscripts that the publishing house receives are not given serious attention.
