Pundit: People complain about how ineffectual their legislative representatives are, but this apparent ineffectuality is simply the manifestation of compromises these representatives must make when they do what they were elected to do: compete for the government’s scarce funds. So, when people express dissatisfaction with their legislative representatives, we can be assured that these representatives are simply doing what they were elected to do.
The pundit’s argument is flawed because it takes for granted that
(A) the apparent ineffectuality of legislative representatives is the only source of popular dissatisfaction with those representatives
(B) governmental resources that are currently scarce cannot become more abundant except by the actions of politicians
(C) constituents would continue to be dissatisfied with the effectuality of their legislative representatives if constituents were aware of the cause of this apparent ineffectuality
(D) legislative compromise inevitably results in popular dissatisfaction with politicians
(E) only elected public servants tend to elicit dissatisfaction among the public

The pundit's argument is wrong because it only thinks about money(scarcity of Funds) as the cause of dissatisfaction. There might be other reasons people don't like their representatives.
Example : Lack of Transparency, not having regular meetings with people etc
Option A : the apparent ineffectuality of legislative representatives is the only source of popular dissatisfaction with those representatives - as it cannot be the only source of popular dissatisfaction, there can be many more - hence the pundit is wrong
