Is B correct b/c the principle is that just because you don't reach your goal or get the outcome you wanted doesn't mean you should abandon your work or a practice if other good can come of it. More simply put, you shouldn't stop or give up on a thing if it does something positive or has some benefit.

I cannot decide on which is better: B or C.
I chose C because I thought that based on the facts in it we may assume that even if Chester was unsuccessful in his attempt he was able to improve his gardening skill to some degree.
Could you explain why C is incorrect please?

Thanks for the question, Shokhzod! The underlying principle in this argument is something like "just because you did not accomplish your primary goal doesn't mean you should quit, because different benefits were achieved." Answer C is lacking the element of other, possibly unintended benefits. Instead, it's more like "don't give up now because you might succeed later with some practice and improvement."
