you can say that I guess since it has 2 potential answers, though I would encourage to read the C official explanation. There are some learnings to take potentially.
P.S. Your E. answer got Kudos by the way - I checked and it was missed for some reason the first time so I have made sure to click it. Let me know if you did not get the points.

There are already numerous answers and I am only doing this for my learning... I saw many people have opted for E, which isn't correct.

Conclusion was citizens of S exercise more than citizens of T. Why? Support - they bought more memberships. We have to find an option that doesn't weakened this or has no relation to it.. All the otions except for C targets the conclusion by providing alternative but C doesn't attack conclusion in any way.

Correct - C. The average price of a gym membership is lower in Schwartz than it is in Talsberg.
