The Motor Drivers’ Association annually hosts a charity event to raise donations for several local welfare organisations. The funds raised at this year’s charity event were unusually low because of unexpectedly dismal attendance by the locals. All the usual mediums of publicity used every year such as televisions, big tabloids, hoardings, etc. were used to extensively advertise the event well ahead of the set date for this year’s event too. Only a few small magazines were not considered this year for the purpose of publicizing the event. This shows even the smallest departure from the usual can greatly impact the outcome of the situation.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. While most people who skipped this year read the small magazines, only a minority of them were not reached through other print and advertising channels.
B. Most of the donations come from the businessmen of the city who liberally contribute to the funds under their corporate social responsibility.
C. Several fund raisers that captured the interest of many of the regular charity donators were held in the city on the same day, something that would otherwise be impossible because of paucity of banquet halls.
D. There has been very little variation in the circulation of the small magazines of the city.
E. The charity event organized by the Motor Drivers’ Association is the most eagerly awaited annual event in the city.

Type-weaken
Conclusion- even the smallest departure from the usual can greatly impact the outcome of the situation.
- the choice to not publish the charity event in a few small magazines led to lower fundraising in this year's event
A. While most people who skipped this year read the small magazines, only a minority of them were not reached through other print and advertising channels.- Firstly, only a few small magazines were not considered for advertisements. Also, most of the people who skipped this year read the small magazines but most of them were aware of the event via other print and advertising channels
B. Most of the donations come from the businessmen of the city who liberally contribute to the funds under their corporate social responsibility.- irrelevant
C. Several fund raisers that captured the interest of many of the regular charity donators were held in the city on the same day, something that would otherwise be impossible because of paucity of banquet halls.- so many of the regular charity donators were attending other events on the same day
D. There has been very little variation in the circulation of the small magazines of the city.- irrelevant, the variation in small magazines is not relevant
E. The charity event organized by the Motor Drivers’ Association is the most eagerly awaited annual event in the city.- irrelevant
The OA is stated as option C. Can you please help me eliminate option A/ select option C?
