Buyers of used cars must love the color white. Of all the used cars sold in the country this year, as many as 60% were white.
Which of the following most weakens the argument?
(A) The color white is easier to maintain and hides scratches really well, unlike other colors such as black.
(B) White has been the most preferred car color of new car buyers in the country for several decades now.
(C) The prices of used cars do not vary on the basis of the color of the cars.
(D) There are more new cars sold in the country than used cars.
(E) The huge depreciation costs on new cars make it very attractive to buy used cars in the country.

The right answer here is B. The conclusion that we are looking to weaken is that "used car buyers love white".
A - If anything, this helps the idea that used car buyers would go for white. OUT
B - The colour of a used car is not a matter of choice entirely, it is to some extent dependent on the original new cars that people bought. If people mostly have already bought white cars, then it would be expected for most used cars to be white as well. This suggests that it is not "loving the color white" but rather, it is the most commonly available colour. CORRECT
C - If the prices are the same and people "choose" white, it suggests if anything that people prefer white over others. OUT
D - This is irrelevant. It only addresses sample size, but uses comparisons that we have no raw data about either. OUT
E - This just tells us why people buy used cars at all, nothing about the colour. It's therefore irrelevant and OUT
Remember to be clear about the conclusion (people like white for used cars) and the answer will be straightforward to find.

b is the only relevant option. It attacks the conclusion, proving that it is in fact the buyers of new cars who love the colour white , not the buyers of used cars.
