The argument's inference from its evidence to the claim about offering bottled water is most vulnerable to which objection?
A
It treats a possible background factor as if it logically contradicted the reported observation itself.
B
It infers a general causal rule about offering bottled water and five-star ride-share ratings from three passenger reviews, although that anecdotal evidence is too narrow and uncontrolled to rule out route convenience, passenger mood, or driving quality.
C
It mistakes evidence that the proposed cause preceded the observed effect for evidence that the proposed cause is necessary for that effect.
D
It assumes that two explanations for the observed effect cannot both contribute to the result.
E
It assumes that a later measurement of the observed effect must have produced the effect being measured.
