Opthamologists can determine important information about blood pressure level while performing an eye examination. Doctors have found that high blood pressure levels can precede a cardiac arrest. One can conclude that doctors will be able to predict with greater accuracy impending heart attacks based on information from opthamologists.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above
(A) Eye examinations provide more detailed information today than they did 35 years ago.
(B) Doctors can establish that changes in eye pressure directly affect the cardiovascular system.
(C) Evidence other than eye pressure has previously enabled doctors to predict impending heart attacks that are predictable on the basis of information from opthamologists.
(D) Doctors have not determined why changes in pressure on the eye fluctuate.
(E) It has been established that predictable pressure patterns yield predictable pattern of medical symptoms.

C, it is so hard.
It said evidence other than eye pressure has enabled doctors to predict heart attacks that are predictable.
Therefore, from opthamologists doctors cannot increase the accuracy to predict the predictable heart attack more.

I would go with ‘D’
‘A’, ‘B’ & ‘C’ – Supports the argument, so can be eliminated
‘C’ – Doctors were able to predict impending heart attacks based on information from opthamlogits but these information were about other symptoms rather than eye pressure. I do not feel this weakens the argument.
‘D’ – If the cause to changes in eye pressure were not determined then the doctors could not predict with greater accuracy about the impending heart attack.
