Last year, there was only one fatality among people who skydive from skyscrapers. There were more than five hundred deaths from horseback riding accidents. Therefore, it is more dangerous to horseback ride than to skydive from skyscrapers.
The absurdity of the conclusion in the preceding material would be best illustrated by which of the following?
(A) comparing the death rates as percentages of all horseback riding versus skydivers from skyscrapers
(B) graphing the history of the number of deaths from people who skydive from skyscrapers versus the number of deaths from horseback riding over a longer period, such as 10 years
(C) identifying more specifically the causes of the deaths: lack of qualification for the task, equipment failure, outside forces, and so on
(D) counting severe injuries as well as deaths from the two activities
(E) comparing the age groups of the average skydivers from skyscrapers to the age group of the average horseback rider and finding the number of deaths as a percentage of that age group

It is A.
B - history of death number is not helpful, if we dont compare death rates
C - irrelevant
D - irrelevant
E - the number of deaths in each group is not helpful to identify death rates in each group

I think its D
Assumption - Dangerous is directly proportional to only number of deaths
What if skydive causes more severe injuries than horse ride. Then the conclusion will alter.
I would request an expert to validate.
