Citing that popular sports such as cricket and football have been able to sustain themselves without any financial aid from the government, some people believe that if people have enough interest in an art form, they will be willing to pay the money to experience it. Therefore, they reason that even if the government stops art subsidies, ultimately only those art forms will survive that most people actually have interest in.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the conclusion of the people mentioned in the above argument depends?
A. While providing subsidies, the government does not take in to account whether most people actually have interest in that art form.
B. People pay huge amounts to witness live sporting events such as cricket, football, hockey etc.
C. Most people who have interests in various art forms have the means to pay to witness it.
D. Currently most of the institutions that receive art subsidies from the government could be alternatively funded by the philanthropic organizations backed by business houses.
E. Currently, there are numerous art forms that receive subsidies but that have failed to garner people’s interest in them.

Premise - [color=#0000ff]Famous sports such as Cricket and football are able to sustain the sport without any Government subsidies.
Conclusion - only those art forms will survive that most people actually have interest in.
Prethinking - If you take away the subsidies and conclude that only those art forms will survive that most people have interest in then
we assume that most people who have interests in various art forms have the means to pay to witness it.
C. Most people who have interests in various art forms have the means to pay to witness it.

Popular sports such as cricket and football --> People pay to watch.
Parallelly, If people have an interest in the Art form they can also self-sustain.
Conclusion: Only those art forms will survive that most people actually have interest in.
Pre-Thinking: Howz!! interest related to self-sustaining. Some link is missing
Which of the following is an assumption on which the conclusion of the people mentioned in the above argument depends?
A. While providing subsidies, the government does not take into account whether most people actually have interest in that art form.Conclusion is not about subsidies, Irrelavant
B. People pay huge amounts to witness live sporting events such as cricket, football, hockey etc.Yeah!! That's already mentioned right !! They are self-sustained. Irrelevant, As conclusion talks about Art forms, Hence it won't impact.
C. Most people who have interests in various art forms have the means to pay to witness it. Yeah!! That's inline with our pre-thinking right?? Even-If ppl have interest in certain art forms, but they aren't willing to pay, then these art forms can't be self-sustained.
D. Currently most of the institutions that receive art subsidies from the government could be alternatively funded by the philanthropic organizations backed by business houses. OFS, Doesn't impact conclusion
E. Currently, there are numerous art forms that receive subsidies but that have failed to garner people’s interest in them. OFS, Doesn't impact conclusion
Hence C
