Researchers have recently discovered that approximately 70% of restaurant
lemon wedges they studied were contaminated with harmful microorganisms
such as bacteria and fungal pathogens. The researchers looked at numerous
different restaurants in different regions of the country. Most of the organisms
had the potential to cause infectious disease. For that reason, people should
not order lemon wedges with their drinks.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion above?
(A) The researchers could not determine why or how the microbial
contamination occurred on the lemon wedges.
(B) The researchers failed to investigate contamination of restaurant lime
wedges by harmful microorganisms.
(C) The researchers found that people who ordered lemon wedges at
restaurants were equally likely to contract the diseases caused by the
discovered bacteria as were people who did not order lemon wedges.
(D) Health laws require lemons to be handled with gloves or tongs, but
the common practice is for waiters and waitresses to handle them with
their bare hands.
(E) Many factors that have nothing to do with lemons affect the chance
of an individual contracting a disease by coming into contact with
bacteria. These factors include such things as the health and age of the
individual as well as the status of his or her immune system.

IMO C
lemon wedges causes diseases , people can contract disease if they order lemon wedges
in choice , we swe that the effect (chances people contract disease are equal to the people who do not order lemon wedges ) is there without the cause .
this weakens the argument
