A certain eye infection has been linked to exposure to certain type of high-salinity sea water. While not dangerous, these infections are painful and often unnoticeable, at least to those who contract them. Over 80% of children ages 4-14 who bathed in a particular sea called "The White Sea" have contracted the infection in varying levels of severity. Although bathing in "The White Sea" does not always lead to a contraction of the infection, the only way to completely avoid the infection is to refrain from bathing in "The White Sea" and other Sea waters altogether.
Which of the following indicates a flaw in the author’s reasoning?
A. It relies on evidence about a specific place to make a recommendation about an entire class of such places.
B. It assumes that one possible cause of a condition is the only cause of that condition.
C. It assumes to be true what it sets out to prove.
D. It makes a generalization based on one segment of the population.
E. It contradicts itself by proclaiming a condition to be not dangerous and then offering a recommendation to avoid that condition.

IMO B. The conclusion has a casual statement and therefore the stated cause might not be the true cause. That is, bathing in the White Sea might be a correlating factor, not a causative one...
