Donna claims to have found the museum's current exhibition of bronzes from Benin less interesting than many of the other exhibitions recently put on by the museum. According to all the critical reviews, however, the Benin exhibition is more interesting than any other exhibition that the museum has put on in years. Therefore, Donna's claim must be false.
Which one of the following arguments contains flawed reasoning that is most similar to the flawed reasoning in the argument above?
(A) Alice claims to have completed her assignment. According to her supervisor, however, the task that Alice was assigned to do has not yet been completed. Alice's claim, therefore, must be false .
(B) Morris claims to have seen the famous fire at the Charles Theater. According to all the news reports, however, that fire took place in 1982 and Morris was out of the country during all of 1982. Morris's claim, therefore, must be false.
(C) Denise claims to have gone to the party only to please Albert. Albert, however, insists that he went to the party only to please Denise. Denise's claim, therefore, must be false.
(D) Loren claims to like the taste of the fish at the Diggin's Diner. However, since according to everyone who knows anything about food, the fish at the Diggin's Diner tastes dreadful, Loren's claim must be false.
(E) Douglas claims to have climbed the tallest mountain in the country. According to the atlas, however, the country contains two other mountains that are taller than the one Douglas climbed. Douglas's claim, therefore, must be false.

The argument in option (D) contains flawed reasoning most similar to the one in the original argument.
In option (D), it assumes that Loren's subjective opinion about the taste of the fish at Diggin's Diner contradicts the opinion of many others that the fish tastes dreadful.
