It is widely believed that dogs need to engage in play with other dogs in order to maintain proper socialization as they grow older. In truth, however, merely sharing the same physical space with another dog is sufficient to maintain proper socialization. Supporting evidence to this effect comes from a study demonstrating that the more often a dog shares a physical space with another dog, the better its socialization
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the influence of the evidence cited?
A. As dogs age, it is necessary to challenge their physical and mental capacities in order to avoid the deterioration of these capacities.
B. Many behavioral reasons that negatively impact a dog’s proper socialization also increase the likelihood that a dog is not sharing physical space with another dog.
C. Many dogs are capable of both play and simply sharing space with other dogs.
D. The study itself did not observe dog socialization, but analyzed observations on the issue from other studies.
E. The metrics for evaluating socialization that the study measured more resembled play than simply sharing physical space.

Experts, Please correct my reasoning if there's a flaw
We need to weaken the support evidence I.e Last line of the page, which states something is caused by other thing, and not the conclusion, which is
"In truth, however......... Proper socialisation".
Okay let's get to answer options
I picked B) here for reasons listed below
D) and E) say that study is invalid (which shouldn't be the right answer on CR, as we have to belive what the stimulus says in all question types on CR) Q: its all question types, right?
A) mentions something that is necessary, but it is off base from the "evidence" we need to weaken.
C) states a general fact or something that dogs like to do.
This has certainly nothing to do with conclusion or evidence.
So we are left with B) itself.
I am unable to deduce why B), but via POE I could reach B)
I could only deduce that "behaviour" is the reason and not "sharing space" that enable dogs to socialize.
