In responding to the charges against the company’s skin cream, a SkinBright spokesperson stated that any reactions caused by its products would develop within the first week of starting to use the product, and since the person who has filed the charges did not see any visible reaction for more than three weeks, it is not possible for the reaction to have been caused by SkinBright cream.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the spokesperson's conclusion above?
A. The reactions caused by the Trilet lotion, a competitor of SkinBright, look exactly the same as the reactions caused by SkinBright creams.
B. The person filing the charges has not used any beauty product other than SkinBright cream in the past three weeks.
C. SkinBright products are one of the few dermatologically tested products and are unlikely to cause any skin reactions.
D. In some cases the inner layers of the skin might react to the product, and the subsequent rash may take time to become visible to the naked eye.
E. Most people using SkinBright are happy with the product and have never had any reactions.

(A) reactions caused by the Trilet lotion, a competitor of SkinBright - PArallely compares competitors' products, hence this goes out of scope.
(B) Keep for now for further consideration.
(C) There is no guarantee that dermatologically tested products will not cause any issues , hence rejected.
(D) Keep for now for further consideration.
(E) Most people using SkinBright are happy with the product - Might be true, but some people may have issues and one such individual has raised the issue and complained/charged the company.
Between (B) and (D) -
(B) If the person has not used any beauty product other than SkinBright cream in the past three weeks then SkinBright cream is the sole cause of reactions ,thus this statement doesn't attack the highlighted part of the stimulus and can be rejected.
(D) States that reactions take time to be noticed and this has happened in this case , hence this must be the correct Answer.
