Stem:The argument's reasoning is most vulnerable to criticism on which one of the following grounds?

Choice C:The argument inappropriately draws a conclusion about causes of cancer in general from evidence drawn from a particular case of cancer. Choice D:The argument ignores other possible causes of the increase in cancer rates near the nuclear reactor complexes. Choice E:The argument concludes that a claim about a causal connection is false on the basis of a lack of evidence for the claim.
