Jenkins maintains that the movie Firepower was not intended to provoke antisocial behavior, arguing that, on the contrary, it is in the interest of Firepower's director to prevent such behavior. Yet Jenkins's conclusion must be rejected, because the movie has clearly produced antisocial behavior among many of those who have seen it.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed in that it:
(A) rejects an argument on the grounds that it was offered by a person who was biased
(B) concludes from a mere correlation between certain phenomena that those phenomena are causally related
(C) infers that something is true of a whole solely on the grounds that it is true of a part of the whole
(D) overlooks the possibility that people can act in a way that is contrary to their expressed interest
(E) concludes from the mere fact that an action had a certain effect that the effect was intended by the person who performed the action

Please confirm if B is rejected because there is no correlation

While the argument does imply a causal relationship (movie -> antisocial behavior), this isn't its primary flaw. The main issue is assuming intent from outcome.
