Option E is the correct answer.
While Option B may seem tempting at first glance, it's a classic trap. The detail lies in the wording — the statement refers to a sample size of 500, not the entire population of working professionals. However, Option B incorrectly generalizes the behavior of all working professionals based on that limited sample.
For example, imagine there are 5,000 working professionals in total. Even if 273 out of 500 in the sample were found to follow rigorous practices, that doesn’t necessarily represent the majority in the broader population. This flawed generalization is what makes Option B incorrect — and highlights why Option E is the better choice.
