In 2001, a local high school implemented a new program designed to reduce the incidence of teenage pregnancy. The program, however, failed to produce the desired result. If the program had been successful, the dropout rate for female students would not have increased substantially in 2001.
The argument in the passage would be most seriously weakened if it were true that
A. the number of female students in the school has remained constant for the past decade
B. nationwide, the teen pregnancy rate and the female high school dropout rate both increased significantly in 2001
C. some female students who dropped out were pregnant at the time
D. many female high school dropouts said that poor economic conditions forced them to leave school and find jobs
E. the school also implemented a program designed to reduce the incidence of drug use among teenagers in 2001

Option D
Conclusion: Women have dropped out more is related to - the program failing.
To weaken get a new premise that will show there are other factors due to which they dropped out and because of the program.

Option D works, since the argument is a weaken argument option D brings in new information and weakens the argument.
Option D supplies the information to counter the conclusion.
