Can somebody help me with the logic behind OA as C. I am confused between B and C.
D&E can be elimated for the use of word "may" indicating a possibility. Look at the question stem where it shows certainty.
The structure of A is not similar to that of the stem.

Eggplants are always purple. John bought a purple vegetable. Therefore, it was an eggplant.
Which of the following depicts a similar reasoning as the above argument?
A. Jenny always eats healthy. Salmon is a healthy food. Therefore, she eats salmon.
Yes she eats Salmon.
B. Gambling is a risky hobby. Jamie likes taking risks. Therefore, she likes to gamble.
Yes, she likes to take risks so she likes to gamble as well. Who says she cannot like to gamble?
C. Except for 2, prime numbers are always odd. The number 13 is odd. Therefore, it is prime.
The number 13 is odd therefore its a prime. Lets try with "The number 15 is odd therefore its incorrect". See there, that's what make this the correct answer. This is similar to the prompt where other purple veggies exist.
D. Rabbits are fast creatures. A fast creature ran by. Therefore, it may have been a rabbit.
Eliminate based on the structure.
E. Bluebirds are not always blue. A brown bird was outside the window. Therefore, it may or may not have been a blue bird.
