Shouldn't it be C.
The question asks what assumption government depends on. The critical is word government. Government proposed the program and thinks that education problem constitutes national thread. The opponents say that it does not, but goverment does not assume that.

(C) Crises in education and housing constitute a threat to the nation’s existence. - But it does not say whether it is a direct threat.
(E) Some of the social ills that currently afflict the nation do not pose a direct threat to the nation’s existence. - Negate this and the argument falls apart.
Hence E.

I will go with C. The question asks the assumption on whic the govt. depends. Govt thinks that it is a threat so it proposed the idea. However , the idea maynot have been passed by the parliament coz these probs donot constitue a direct threat.
The main point to note is that the assumption of govt. is being asked.
