Some motorcyclists who oppose legislation that would require all motorcyclists and their passengers to wear safety helmets argue that the law would violate their rights, because each person is free to decide what risks to take as long as they don’t threaten other people’s safety and well-being.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument above?
(A)In some countries where motorcyclists are required to wear safety helmets, the rate of injury and death among motorcyclists is much lower than in the country described in the passage.
(B)Many motorcyclists who wear safety helmets have to pay more for their insurance because of the high injury rate among riders who don’t wear helmets.
(C)Construction workers are required to wear helmets and use other safety equipment.
(D)All motorcyclists who are concerned with their safety are free to wear helmets if they wish.
(E)In many motorcycle accidents, other persons than motorcyclists are seriously injured.
OA to be followed

The basic argument is:
"I can take risk as long as I don't affect anyone in any way"
Lets look at the options:
(A)In some countries where motorcyclists are required to wear safety helmets, the rate of injury and death among motorcyclists is much lower than in the country described in the passage.
This option strengthens the fact that helmets should be used by motorcyclists. However, it does not weaken the argument which states about not affecting others in any way
(B)Many motorcyclists who wear safety helmets have to pay more for their insurance because of the high injury rate among riders who don’t wear helmets.
This option correctly hampers the main idea of argument by suggesting that people who wear helmet need to spend more on insurance because of higher injury rates among people who don't use helmets.
(C)Construction workers are required to wear helmets and use other safety equipment.
This option is completely out of context.
(D)All motorcyclists who are concerned with their safety are free to wear helmets if they wish.
This option speaks only about motorcyclists who are free to use helmets if they wish. This does not affect the argument in any way.
(E)In many motorcycle accidents, other persons than motorcyclists are seriously injured.
This option speaks about people other than motorcyclists who get injured in motorcycle accidents. However, it is not clear if these people use helmets or no. So this option does not affect our argument.
Correct Ans: B
Enjoy!

IMO B
Reason : B states that motorcyclist who don't wear helmets are actually causing harm to others who wear helmets I.e. increase of insurance premium.
