Arab leaders from Egypt to UAE and surprisingly Saudi Arabia are turning moderate after having been supporters of radical Islamists for long. They have introduced policies aimed at creating a more secular and tolerant society, albeit one with severely limited political rights. While liberals have welcomed the moves, they believe that the moves are primarily motivated by self-interest.
The liberal belief that the actions of Arab leaders are motivated by self-interest is based on the assumption that.
A. Some Arab leaders have in the past cooperated with Islamists to strengthen their own power.
B. In countries with high poverty and poor governance support for Islamists is still high and growing.
C. Arab rulers in places like Egypt and UAE believe that their political positions are threatened by the Islamists.
D. It is unclear for how long and how far Arab rulers will push secularization.
E. While religious and social freedoms are on the rise, political freedoms are still curtailed.

Premise – Leaders were supporter of radical Islamists for long. But now they are introducing policies to create a more secular and tolerant society.
Conclusion – As per liberals the moves are primarily motivated by self-interest.
Let us negate C –
Arab rulers in places like Egypt and UAE believe that their political positions are not threatened by the Islamists. – in this case the conclusion is weakened.
