Passage: When local governments auction land, there is a basic price, which is called "the base price of land". The ratio of the amount that exceeds the base price of land to the base price of land is called "premium rate". The premium rate indicates the popularity of the land market and the property market. There is a piece of land in City B that was temporarily suspended during its first listing this year because the premium rate will hit a record high. The second listing ended up trading at a premium lower than the first listing, but the total amount of the transaction exceeded the amount that could be achieved the first time.
Question: Which of the following options, if true, best explains the seemingly inconsistent phenomenon mentioned above?
A. A.When the land in city B was listed for the second time, the government raised the base price of its land.
B. B.This year, City B has implemented the strictest real estate regulation and control policy in the country.
C. C.At present, the proceeds from land auctions are an important source of finance for local governments.
D. D.When this piece of land in city B was listed for the second time, the competition among the developers was much fiercer than the first time.
