If Kai gets into Penn State, he will enroll in its business program. Assuming that he does enroll in its business program, he will complete his degree in three years. Therefore, if Kai gets into Penn State this year, he will graduate in three years.

The pattern of reasoning in the preceding argument most closely matches which of the following?

(A)  If you take up a bad habit such as gambling, it is foolish to argue that such a habit is harmful. If you truly believe that gambling is harmful, you will not gamble.
(B)  If you choose your college wisely, you are likely to have a pleasant experience. Suzanne, sadly, chose her college based on nothing more than a hunch. As you might expect, her experience was less than optimal.
(C)  It is hardly worth the effort to get upset because bad weather prevents you from participating in a favorite event. The odds of bad weather in this region are about one in four, so you must plan as though any event might be cancelled or moved indoors.
(D)  Should it start to rain, Doward will turn off the sprinkler system. Once he turns off the system, it will not automatically reset for 24 hours. In other words, if it rains this morning, the sprinkler system won’t reset before tomorrow morning.
(E)  Once Jon joins the union, he will not be allowed to train anyone who might potentially replace him. Right now, Jon is not a member of the union, so he is not covered by that protection.
