A recent study of Brooklyn pubs showed that out of a large number of pub-goers surveyed, those who visited pubs more than two times a week typically spent more money per visit than people who visited pubs two times a week or less. Therefore, people trying to curtail pub expenses this month onwards should limit their visits to maximum two times a week.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the author’s conclusion?
A. The study’s result only holds true for Brooklyn pubs, not for pubs in other boroughs in New York.
B. Many insolvent pub-goers today used to frequent pubs more than two times a week.
C. Brooklyn pubs are now offering attractive discounts to customers who frequent their pubs more than two times a week, and are likely to continue to do so for a year.
D. The study shows that pub-goers who visit pubs more than two times a week typically frequent high-end pubs with prestigious cover charges.
E. The study fails to mention whether pub-goers frequent pubs alone or in the company of friends.

The OA for this question has to be C, as it is the only option present which is giving a proper reason as to why people frequenting Brooklyn pubs more than two times a week will not end up spending more than those who frequent the pubs less than two times a week.
Option D is out as it strengthens the conclusion.
Option A, B and E are out as when considered they contribute irrelevant information.

I doubt answer to be c, as A weakens the argument author is making regarding pubs, when option A will ba supplied fallacy of hasty generalization will follow and will weaken the statement. Please help me regarding this.
