The Dear One Baby Carrier is advertised as the safest and most comfortable baby carrier available today. The hard plastic exterior retains its shape despite minor impacts, protecting the baby from the outside, while the thick interior "comfort pad" acts as a shock absorber inside. The interior design has been comfort-tested by thousands of infants, and the exterior handles have been designed with the arms and hands of caring parents in mind. Perhaps best of all, the Dear One Baby Carrier converts easily from an at-large carrier to a car seat, reducing the risk to the baby posed by being shifted from one carrier to another.
Which of the following, if true, would most undermine the claim to safety made on behalf of the Dear One Baby Carrier
A. An infant safety commission announces that most dropping accidents involving infants occur when a parent is the primary caretaker.
B. A survey conducted by a popular magazine reveals that a large number of parents are still not aware of the danger posed to infants by putting their carriers in the front seat.
C. A parents' group endorses the Dear One Baby Carrier as the most convenient baby carrier to take on vacation.
D. The manufacturer of the bedding material delivers the material in a package that bears a suffocation hazard warning.
E. Numerous articles written by various renowned safety specialists have pointed out that at-large baby carriers do not safely double as car seats.

E. Numerous articles written by various renowned safety specialists have pointed out that at-large baby carriers do not safely double as car seats.
A. An infant safety commission announces that most dropping accidents involving infants occur when a parent is the primary caretaker.
Incorrect: The passage does not deal with accidents involving infants in general - this option is not an unsafe feature for the Dear One Baby Carrier in specific related to one of the listed claims.
B. A survey conducted by a popular magazine reveals that a large number of parents are still not aware of the danger posed to infants by putting their carriers in the front seat.
Incorrect: The passage does not compare the relative merits of front- and back-seat placement for the carrier. This option is not an unsafe feature for the Dear One Baby Carrier in specific related to one of the listed claims.
C. A parents' group endorses the Dear One Baby Carrier as the most convenient baby carrier to take on vacation.
Incorrect: This option is irrelevant for the argument - the manufacturer’s claim deals with safety, not convenience.
D. The manufacturer of the bedding material delivers the material in a package that bears a suffocation hazard warning.
Incorrect: Though this option deals with a safety concern, the concern remains with the manufacturer of the carrier. Because the suffocation hazard is related to the packaging of the bedding material, not the bedding material itself, the hazard is for the manufacturer of the carrier, not the babies carried in the carrier.
E. Numerous articles written by various renowned safety specialists have pointed out that at-large baby carriers do not safely double as car seats.
Correct: This option is an unsafe feature for the Dear One Baby Carrier in specific related to one of the listed claims. Because the carrier does not double (fold) safely as the car seats, it might pose unsafe situations for the babies carried while converting to a car seat, for example, by accidentally folding while the baby is inside.
