Passage: 'Advance directives allow individuals to specify their treatment preferences in the event they lose decision-making capacity.

Supporters counter that without such directives, surrogate decision-makers may impose their own values rather than the patient's.' Which argument best supports advance directives?
A) They eliminate all medical uncertainty
B) They prevent surrogates from substituting their preferences for the patient's
C) They always perfectly predict future clinical scenarios
D) They reduce healthcare costs by limiting treatment
