Helen: Reading a book is the intellectual equivalent of investing money: you' re investing time, thereby foregoing other ways of spending that time, in the hope that what you learn will later afford you more opportunities than you' d get by spending the time doing something other than reading that book. Randi: But that applies only to vocational books. Reading fiction is like watching a sitcom: it' s just wasted time. Which one of the following most accurately describes the technique Randi uses in responding to Helen's claims?
A: questioning how the evidence Helen uses for a claim was gathered
B: disputing the scope of Helen's analogy by presenting another analogy
C: denying the relevance of an example presented by Helen
D: arguing that Helen's reasoning ultimately leads to an absurd conclusion
