If Country X does not intervene militarily in Country Y, then the whole region will definitely fall under enemy influence.
It most logically follows from the statement above that, if Country X does intervene militarily in Country Y, then the whole region
(A) Will definitely fall under enemy influence
(B) Will probably fall under enemy influence
(C) Will probably not fall under enemy influence
(D) Will definitely not fall under enemy influence

Can someone tell me why C is not the answer...along with the answer

its clear E.
if x is stronger than the enemy, the region will not fall under enemy influence and vice versa. we donot know about the strength of the country x, thefore even if x interven, the region may or may not fall under enemy influence.
"will" is predection, which we cannot do.

I'll go with E
C uses probably not fall, so is biased
E - may or may not, is not biased

after my studying CR conclusions yesterday I would go for D
since the argument is using the strong language "definitely" then the answer should be using the same... and to me that is what D is doing
but I can see that we don't know about the strength of country X as Professor is saying, so we can't conclude that it would be the opposite... yet to me isn't this overthinking? Also "will" is stated in the argument, so how come it can't be concluded? 
I learned yesterday that the answer choice should be as obvious as it can be, so E kind of needs more info to be more believable... but I guess I could be wrong... hate CR, but will have to learn to love it

This is the reasoning I have used:
A - Country X does not intervene militarily in Country Y
B - The whole region will definitely fall under enemy influence
If A, then B
So, if Not B, then Not A - this is correct
However, If not A, then not B - this is incorrect, as it should be:
If not A, then it may be either B or not B
So, if Country X does intervene militarily in Country Y = not A
May or may not fall under enemy influence = either B or not B
Hence E

thanks gmatmba,
have to memorize this one...
so NOT A is translating into "Country X DOES NOT intervene militarily in Country Y" or "..... X DOES...."? Seems like the latter, but just want to make sure...

A - Country X does not intervene
So, Not A - Country X does intervene
