In an experiment conducted by two psychologists from the University of Nalanda, participants were given mathematical tasks after seeding them with concepts related to money or time through articles written on these subjects. They were told to reward themselves with 100 pounds for each task they completed successfully and to donate 50 pounds for each one they couldn’t. It was found that those who read money-related articles cheated more when evaluating themselves compared to those who read time-related articles. Therefore, reading money-related articles led to the higher instance of cheating in the former group.
Which of the following statements, if true, most seriously weakens the argument given above?
A. One of the psychologists had not completed her PhD when the experiment was conducted.
B. In the absence of a penalty for unsuccessful attempts, the group which read time-related articles would have earned more money than the other group.
C. The standard of the mathematical tasks was much higher than the education level of the participants.
D. Most of the participants of the group who read money-related articles were from a financially weak background.
E. Participants could read only one type of articles, as per their choice.

D seems good here :Most of the participants of the group who read money-related articles were from a financially weak background
to weaken the argument of causation we can cite another reason .this is what effectively D is doing !!
D in a way opens up a window to show that it was "financially weak background" that led to the cheating and not the
fact that they were reading money related article
