Consumer advocate: Ephedra is a naturally occurring compound that some people use as a weight-loss aid. Recently, the government prohibited the sale of dietary supplements containing ephedra on the grounds that ephedra has been shown to have grave side effects. This prohibition is unreasonable. Echinacea is another natural compound that has been shown to have side effects, yet echinacea is widely available at health food stores
The consumer advocate's argument depends on which of the following assumptions?
(A) Before the prohibition, ephedra had been available in health food stores
(B) All natural compounds are safe for human consumption.
(C) The side effects of echinacea and ephedra are comparably serious.
(D) The government should not hav the authority to prohibit natural compounds
(E) It is unreasonable to protect the health of the public.

Only if the side effects of both the products were similar can there be a basis for claim that the government is being casual on one and serious about another.
If we negate this the argument falls apart.
So C.
