Homeowners in the United States are typically protected

Homeowners in the United States are typically protected against loss due to break-ins by security alarm companies. A police expert argues that alarm companies are partially responsible for the recent rise in burglaries because homeowners are often lulled into a sense of security and become less careful about home security after having an alarm installed. If alarm companies did not insure against loss due to break-in, these homeowners would be forced to be more careful.

The police expert`s conclusion is weakened by which of the following, if true?


(A) Before alarm companies began insuring against loss due to break-ins, there was a lower rate of burglary than there is now.
(B) Few homeowners would invest in burglar alarms if alarm companies did not guarantee their products by offering insurance against loss due to break-in.
(C) Surveys show that most homeowners are also protected against loss due to break-in through their homeowner`s insurance policy.
(D) Most professional burglars are able to circumvent the three most common alarm systems without setting off an alarm.
(E) Window stickers stating that the house is protected by an alarm are proven to deter burglars whether or not the house is actually protected by an alarm.
