Automobile executive: Our critics say that the communicates devices installed in our automobiles are dangerously distracting to drivers. But these critics are wrong. Drivers who want to use communications are to use them regardless. Our devices are easier for drivers to use, and hence they are safer.
The reasoning in the automobile executive's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it:
(A) Attempts to apply a general principle to a situation to which that principle is not applicable
(B) Fails to address the substantive point of the criticism that it is responding to
(C) Treats a condition that is necessary to establish its conclusion as one that is sufficient to establish that conclusion
(D) Presumes, without providing justification, that all communications devices are the same with respect to driver distraction
(E) Is based on premises that presume the truth of the argument's conclusion

The two major things to discuss are
1. Our critics say that the communicates devices installed in our automobiles are dangerously distracting to drivers.
2.Our devices are easier for drivers to use, and hence they are safer.
Argument points that devices are dangerous but further gives no explanation of disproving it.

Conclusion of the Auto Exec - communication devices installed in our automobiles are NOT dangerously distracting to drivers. (Critics who say the opposite are wrong)
Justification given is that as regards distraction, their devices are same as other devices...in fact , since they are easier to use, they are safer.
so in effect, the auto exec is making a comparison between communication devices of his company and other companies.
Pre think - What if drivers get distracted with your device because it is easier to use. Those who want to use them would certainly do so (premise), but what if given that your device is easier to use, those who otherwise would not have used it while driving are now using it???
In that case the auto exec's conclusion breaks down.
Option D captures this ..hence i think its D.
