Most large commercial aircraft are subject to extreme weather events such as hurricanes, which produce winds in excess of one hundred miles per hour.
It is impossible to predict how highly-automated systems controlled by complex computer algorithms will respond to unexpected circumstances.
Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn, if the statements above are true, about a highly automated autopilot system controlled by a complex computer algorithm that is used by commercial aircraft?
(A) The system might accidentally cause a large commercial aircraft to crash.
(B) The system would mistake a hurricane for a different extreme weather event.
(C) It is uncertain what the system's response to a hurricane would be if its creators did not plan for such an event.
(D) Whether or not the system would respond appropriately to a hurricane would depend on wind speed within the hurricane.
(E) The system would engage the aircraft in dangerous maneuvers to avoid a hurricane's high winds.

(A) The system might accidentally cause a large commercial aircraft to crash. - cannot say - incorrect
(B) The system would mistake a hurricane for a different extreme weather event.
- cannot say - incorrect
(C) It is uncertain what the system's response to a hurricane would be if its creators did not plan for such an event. - it certainly follows. Correct
(D) Whether or not the system would respond appropriately to a hurricane would depend on wind speed within the hurricane. nothing is known about it - incorrect
(E) The system would engage the aircraft in dangerous maneuvers to avoid a hurricane's high winds. - cannot say - incorrect
IMO C.

+1 for C.
C is the Only option which encapsulates the crux of whole Argument.
+1 if this helps!
