In the past six pro football drafts,4 of 6 players selected by team A are now starters on the squad.On team B,only 2 of the six players selected in the draft ae starters.So, a football player selected by team A from the draft pool has a higher probability of becoming a starter than if he is selected by team B.

Which of the following weakens the argument?
A. Two of the four starters on team A are sons of coach.
B. Team B has a new owner and coaching staff.
C. Team B has a new state-of-th-art gym.
D. Team B's pick is a quarterback, and the starting quarterback is retiring.
E. Team A has had the first draft pick for the past six years,while Team
B had the last pick.This year it is reversed.

yeah it does show biasing. But again you can't say for sure can you?

E is more straightforward --- If A always got the first to choose from they certainly had a wider spectrum to choose from.

This doesn't seem like a GMAT quality question though..
