Home owner representative recommendation : leave lights on to avoid possible vulgary

Crime expert : leave lights on can also give impression that the house is unoccupied if undisturbed for prolonged time

A- leaving lights on would give an impression that the house is occupied and will ward off potential vulgary is a stated assumption.
B- leaving light on to avoid potential vulgary may work if burglar thinks the house is occupied, but it may not work if burglar thinks the house is not occupied because the light has been on undisturbed

Crime expert talks about the potential drawbacks of the recommendation
B is correct

I hope my explanation helps!

A) calling into question an unstated assumption - the crime expert attacks what is explicitly stated
B) pointing out an undesired effect of a recommendation - CORRECT : desired effect is a burglar getting a clear signal.
C) presenting new evidence that calls the conclusion into question - no new evidence
D) explaining that a reputed effect is actually a cause - burglary is not a cause
E) demonstrating that the conclusion is true, but not for the reasons cited- irrelevant
