Discarded chewing gums have become a social menace. Many consumers spilt out used gums on streets which later bother other people with their stickiness. No practical methods have worked in the efforts aimed at controlling this habit of consumers. However, a new chewing gum preparation method will ensure that the used chewing gums thrown away will dissolve themselves in the air in six hours, when left in the open. Once the government makes this preparation mandatory, the chewing gum menace will finally be history.
Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakness the argument?
A- The chewing gums made by the new methodology shall not have the same taste value and will not be preferred by consumers.
B- Most chewing gum menace happens between their discard and drying down.
C- The cost of production of chewing gums with the new method is more than the cost with current method and hence, chewing gums will be priced higher.
D- It will take two years for the new method to be commercially available to chewing gum makers.
E- Chewing gums made with the new method do not possess any hazard apart from being a source of menace.
