i'll go for B.

The argument is comparing scrubs with soaps. B describes cases in which a soap will be more effective than scrubs.

Another vote for C.

Author claims that:

scrubs - sterilize
soaps - don's sterilize as effectively as scrubs
therefore, soaps - are not effective

C weakens the argument by proving that soaps are effective

C for me as well
We have to think of a premise that will weaken the conclusion that states that soaps are ineffective. C does this neatly!

The coclusion also states that consumers wind up paying more for an enhancement that really is ineffective. B mentions why paying more for it is justified.

(C) looks fine to me.
(A),(B),(D) doest not affect the argument,
(E) streghtens the argument but we are looking for weakener.
