No ambitious politician will challenge an elected public official running for reelection unless that official appears vulnerable.
If an official is not vulnerable, he will not be challenged by ambitious politician.
Nonetheless, public officials who do not appear vulnerable as they attempt to win reelection rarely run unopposed.
Officials who are not vulnerable are mostly challanged by someone
A. No officeholder who is vulnerable will run for reelection if an ambitious politician is likely to challenge that officeholder. Cannot be inferred
B. If a person who is not an ambitious politician challenges an elected public official who is running for reelection, then that official does not appear vulnerable. We cannot infer this from the given conditional
Not Vulnerable ---> No Challenge
Challenge --> Vulnerable
C. If an elected official running for reelection appears vulnerable, that official's challengers will all be ambitious politicians. Maybe there are few non-ambitious politicians who are challenging this official
D. Some elected officials running for reelection are challenged by people who are not ambitious politicians. True because some officials who are vulnerable are challenged by ambitious and some are challanged by non-ambitious. However, the remaining officials go unchallenged.
E. Ambitious politicians will run for election to a public office only if the holder of that office is running for reelection and appears to be vulnerable. 'and' is problematic here
