C it is. Since the person doesn't have those characteristics, he cannot be the member of that group.perfect.

The law firm of Sutherlin, Perez, and Associates is one of the most successful law firms whose primary specialization is in criminal defense cases. In fact, the firm has a better than 90 percent acquittal rate in such cases. Dalton is an attorney whose primary specialization is in divorce cases, so Dalton certainly cannot be a member of Sutherlin, Perez, and
Associates.

The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument


(A) offers in support of its conclusion pieces of evidence that are mutually contradictory

(B) overlooks the possibility that a person can practice law without being a member of a law firm

(C) concludes that someone is not a member of a group on the grounds that that person does not have a characteristic that the group as a whole has

(D) takes a high rate of success among the members of a group to indicate that the successes are evenly spread among the members

(E) states a generalization based on a selection that is not representative of the group about which the generalization is supposed to hold true
A and C somewhat stand upto the requirement. However, A loses out for stating the evidence contradictory because they are most probably exclusive of each other not contradictory.
E loses for stating a generalisation which is not at all inferable.

Answer C.
