Company A and Company B both produce gold watches. Company A's watches are more expensive than those sold by Company B. Therefore, the watches produced by Company A are of a higher quality than those produced by Company B.
The argument is flawed primarily because the author
A. fails to provide any actual prices of watches produced by Company A or Company B
B. assumes that the quality of gold watches is, on average, higher than that of other types of watches
C. forms a general conclusion by including the products of only two companies
D. directly relates the price of a product to the quality of a product
E. does not support the statement that Company A's watches are more expensive than Company B's

The argument is flawed primarily because the author
What we are looking as answer is going to break our assumption that price is directly related to quality. Increased price can be because of any number of reasons. It can be due to quality, design, brand etc. There is no detailing given on why price is high.
A. fails to provide any actual prices of watches produced by Company A or Company B
Wrong: If prices are provided also, We won't be able to come to conclusion that what caused increase in quality
B. assumes that the quality of gold watches is, on average, higher than that of other types of watches
Wrong: Out of scope. A and B are in discussion, and JUST GOLD, No Silver watches
C. forms a general conclusion by including the products of only two companies
Wrong: No general conclusions made. We are making comparison between A and B
D. directly relates the price of a product to the quality of a product
In Correct: This is one of our assumptions. Price of a product is equal to quality, but quality of A and Quality of B can still be the same given .This infact attacks the wrong conclusion.
E. does not support the statement that Company A's watches are more expensive than Company B's
Correct: If this statement is supported by reasons, we will be able to make the right assumption.

well IMO it should be D
as it rather than considering other merits or characteristics of gold watches ,directly correlates the cost to the quality.
