A proposed law would prohibit any individual who has been employed as a lobbyist on behalf of a particular industry from serving as the director of a government agency charged with regulating that same industry. The purpose of the proposed law is to prevent conflicts of interest. However, if passed, the law would prove counterproductive because it would prevent individuals who are knowledgeable about industries from serving as government regulators.
The argument above depends most directly on which of the following assumptions?
(A) The individuals in government that hold the power to enact the proposed law are susceptible to influence on the part of industry lobbyists.
(B) Government has a legitimate role to play in the regulation of most industries.
(C) Only individuals who have served as lobbyists on behalf of an industry are knowledgeable about that industry.
(D) Those who have served as lobbyists on behalf of an industry are capable of objective, unbiased decisions as regulators.
(E) The primary objective of government regulation of industry should be to strengthen and support that industry

D seems to be a valid answer it favors those people who has served as lobbyists on behalf of the industry and thus a proper assumption to arrive at the conclusion
