In an effort to combat childhood obesity, the city government implemented a ban on advertisements for sugary drinks and fast food within 500 meters of schools. A recent study found that childhood obesity rates in the city declined by 5% over two years following the implementation of this policy. Based on this, the city government claims that the ad ban was effective in reducing childhood obesity.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the city government’s claim?
(A) A neighboring city that did not implement an ad ban saw an identical 5% decline in childhood obesity rates over the same period.
(B) Sales data from the city’s grocery stores indicate that sugary drink and fast food consumption among children remained unchanged after the ad ban.
(C) Several studies show that long-term dietary habits are primarily shaped by parental choices rather than advertising exposure.
(D) The city also launched a free after-school fitness program at the same time the ad ban was implemented.
(E) A survey of students in the city found that most children were unaware that the ad ban had been put in place.

Although I went for A, why cant B be also the answer ? It seriously undermines the effectiveness of the policy.
