C
Historian: Concern with achievement and power surged dramatically in the latter part of the eighteenth century, which is around the time that the Industrial Revolution began in Europe. So, it is clear that this surge in concern with achievement and power was a result of the Industrial Revolution. The reasoning in the argument is flawed because
A: it fails to adequately take into account that the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in Europe cannot be located with any great precision
B: it ignores the fact that the Industrial Revolution did not reach its full maturity until the nineteenth century
C: increasing concern with achievement and power may very well have been a cause of the Industrial Revolution
D: it fails to consider that there was some concern with achievement and power before the Industrial Revolution
