between C and E
The conclusion is that this drink is harmful and should be banned;hence,whether most of the consumer will eventually experience serious cardiac problem is irrelevant.It doesn't depend on how many consumer will experience this harmful effect.
Additionally,the negation of option C reads:
no drink that contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra is harmful to consumer health.
since no such drink is harmful to consumer health with the given range of the amount of Ephedra,Mango Paradise is not likely to cause bad effect to the consumer;hence,the conclusion falls apart.

Premise: The new soft drink, Mango Paradise, contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra, a chemical supplement that stimulates the activity of the nervous system but may also result in serious cardiac problems.
Conclusion : this drink is harmful to consumer health and should be banned from distribution in our state.
a)The new soft drink will soon be introduced into mass production.
We can't say this an assumption to conclusion. The soft drink might already be in distribution or it might have just been introduced in the mass production.
b)Consumers are unlikely to enjoy the taste of Mango Paradise because of the high amount of Ephedra contained in the drink.
Again it is not related to conclusion.
c)Any drink that contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra is harmful to consumer health.
This might be related to conclusion. Lets try to negate this. Any drink that contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra is NOT harmful to consumer health. So it completely weakens the conclusion. Hmm... This might be a correct option. lets keep this.
d)The Consumer Advocate is not affiliated with the producer of Mango Paradise.
This has no relation with the conclusion. Leave this.
e)Most consumers who drink Mango Paradise will eventually experience serious cardiac problems.
This is also related to conclusion. Lets negate this option. Most consumers who drink Mango Paradise will eventually NOT experience serious cardiac problems. Hmm this also weakens conclusion.
So, there is a confusion between option C & E making this questions tough. I donno how to reach to final answer "C" from here....

zeroed down to C and E. C is more relevant that E.
on negating C, the conclusion falls apart.

Souvik, this is a great question. To attack assumption questions, one must first identify the premise and the conclusion of the argument.
Premise
1) "The new soft drink, Mango Paradise, contains at least 2.5% of Ephedra."
2) Ephedra stimulates the activity of the nervous system but may also result in serious cardiac problems"
Conclusion
"Therefore, this drink is harmful to consumer health
and
Should be banned from distribution in our state."
The conclusion begs the question --> why is Mango Paradise harmful to health? & why should it be banned? We can start to think about possible reasons its harmful to health.. it has in it 2.5% chemical that can cause serious health problems... Therefore the author believes that the 2.5% content is the cause of the health problems. Something that the stimulus hints at. Hence the answer is C.
