Videocassette recorders (VCRs) enable people to watch movies at home on videotape. People who own VCRs go to movie theaters more often than do people who do not own VCRs. Contrary to popular belief, therefore, owning a VCR actually stimulates people to go to movie theaters more often than they otherwise would.
The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
(A) concludes that a claim must be false because of the mere absence of evidence in its favor
(B) cites in support of the conclusion evidence that is inconsistent with other information that is provided
(C) fails to establish that the phenomena interpreted as cause and effect are not both direct effects of some other factor
(D) takes a condition that by itself guarantees the occurrence of a certain phenomenon to be a condition that therefore must be met for that phenomenon to occur
(E) bases a broad claim about the behavior of people in general on a comparison between two groups of people that together include only a small proportion of people overall

I pick "C".....there may be other causes for ppl with VCRs to go to movies e.g. they genuinely like movies.

The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it

- This is the one. Owning the VCR may or may not stimulate people to go to movie theaters. There could be other reasons involved.
(D) takes a condition that by itself guarantees the occurrence of a certain phenomenon to be a condition that therefore must be met for that phenomenon to occur
- We're not testing any conditions here
(E) bases a broad claim about the behavior of people in general on a comparison between two groups of people that together include only a small proportion of people overall
