Purushottam sends a batch of sweets to the Police station across the street every day. Ratan construed it as a bribe and wanted to stop this practice.
Which of the following arguments, IF TRUE, would BEST convince Ratan NOT to give up this practice?

In the last three years, three attempts to burgle Puru and Sons were effectively foiled by the Police.
Each policeman receives only two pieces of sweet, too small to be considered a bribe.
The police in return send two policemen in mufti to mingle with the customers during rush hours to prevent pickpockets.
Every day, Purushottam also sends a batch of sweets to the school next to the station, an orphanage nearby and the temple at the end of the street.
Purushottam’s competitor Uttampurush who runs a sweetshop in the same street and his neighbour Mahapurush who runs a samosa stall, both do similar things every day.
