The average normal infant born in Bangladesh weighs between 12 and 14 pounds at the age of four months. If a four-month-old child weighs only 11 pounds, its weight gain has been below the Bangladesh average.
Which of the following indicates a flaw in the reasoning above?
A. Weight is one of many indicators of normal infant development.
B. Some four-month-old children may weigh more than 14 pounds.
C. A normal child also weigh less than 12 pounds at birth.
D. Average weight gain is not the same as average weight.
E. A child having 11 pounds weight does not necessarily mean insufficient development.

Any answer choice on this line will indicate a flaw in the reasoning above
A. Weight is one of many indicators of normal infant development. Its a fact, however, it doesn't explains the flaw in reasoning. Incorrect

C. A normal child also weigh less than 12 pounds at birth. Same as Option B
D. Average weight gain is not the same as average weight. This fact highlights the flaw. Correct
E. A child having 11 pounds weight does not necessarily mean insufficient development. Irrelevant. Child's development is not discussed. the weight of child is in focus. Incorrect
