It is truly a waste of time to attend college. Out of the ten richest people in the world, six are college dropouts. Thus, if one wants to become rich, then it makes sense to drop out of college and start one’s own venture.
Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the argument?
(A) Had the six people mentioned in the argument attended college, they may have been even richer than they are currently.
(B) Attending college helps a person increase his or her social circle by making new friends.
(C) Statistics reveal that 95% of all new ventures are most likely to fail.
(D) The percentage of college dropouts who have gone on to become rich is several times smaller than the percentage of college graduates who have gone on to become rich.
(E) Becoming rich is not the only measure of success, happiness is perhaps more important.

Out of 10 richest people 6 are college dropouts who went on to start a venture. So to become rich, one should dropout of college.
(A) Had the six people mentioned in the argument attended college, they may have been even richer than they are currently.
This is a probability statement, which may or may not happen. Hence, not correct.
(B) Attending college helps a person increase his or her social circle by making new friends.
Irrelevant option. Ruled out.
(C) Statistics reveal that 95% of all new ventures are most likely to fail.
Most likely is Also a probable event occurrence statement. Hence, it is not correct.
(D) The percentage of college dropouts who have gone on to become rich is several times smaller than the percentage of college graduates who have gone on to become rich.
if this statement is true, then it cast a doubt on the argument. This directly challenges the argument's assumption that dropping out leads to greater wealth.
(E) Becoming rich is not the only measure of success, happiness is perhaps more important.
Filler Option. Out of scope.

doesn't option D contradict the information, given in the passage, which is "Out of ten richest people in the world, six are college dropouts."??
