Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion above?
A. Top-rated business schools have relaxed the conditions of admissions substantially in the recent past.
B.The percentage of students from these schools into top notch positions in the corporate sector has shown a downward trend.
C. Many corporates are of late showing great interest in drawing students of top rated business schools to work even before they complete their graduation.
D. The academic standards in not-so-well-reputed business schools have also increased considerably in recent years
E. Dropouts from schools generally tend to become billionaires.

The answer to this question has to be option C as it is the only option that clearly gives us another reason as to why a higher percentage of students drop out of top-rated business schools before graduation.
Option A is out as it is an opposite answer.
Option B is out as this could be an effect of what is being stated in the stimulus and not a statement that can weaken the argument.
Options D and E are out as they are irrelevant.
