In an attempt to discourage the widespread acceptance of clothing manufactured in sweatshops, the council of a small town plans to ban the sale of sweatshop goods for which substitutes manufactured under humane conditions exist. The council argues that non-sweatshop apparel is morally preferable.
Which of the following, if true, indicates that the plan to ban the sale of sweatshop goods is ill suited to the town council's moral objectives?
A. Although clothing manufactured in sweatshops is now available, members of the town council believe non-sweatshop apparel is better for workers in the clothing manufacturing business.
B. The clothing factory at which most of the townspeople are employed plans to improve their working conditions.
C. After other towns enacted similar bans on the sale of clothing manufactured in sweatshops, the benefits to workers in the clothing manufacturing business were not discernible for several years.
D. Since most townspeople prefer clothing manufactured in sweatshops in many instances, they are likely to purchase them in neighboring towns where such goods are available for sale.
E. Sweatshops sometimes produce items other than apparel.

A. Although clothing manufactured in sweatshops is now available, members of the town council believe non-sweatshop apparel is better for workers in the clothing manufacturing business.- This statement is not valid because there is no evidence to support the claim mentioned in the question statement.
B. The clothing factory at which most of the townspeople are employed plans to improve their working conditions- Not valid because there is no evidence or reason that by putting ban on sweatshop clothing is the only way to improve the working condition.
C. After other towns enacted similar bans on the sale of clothing manufactured in sweatshops, the benefits to workers in the clothing manufacturing business were not discernible for several years- this supports the argument with proper evidence that plan to ban the sale of sweatshop goods is ill suited to the town council's moral objectives.
D. Since most townspeople prefer clothing manufactured in sweatshops in many instances, they are likely to purchase them in neighboring towns where such goods are available for sale- Not Valid.
E. Sweatshops sometimes produce items other than apparel - Not valid as per the argument in the question.
Hence IMO , correct option is C.

A. Although clothing manufactured in sweatshops is now available, members of the town council believe non-sweatshop apparel is better for workers in the clothing manufacturing business. - opposite, this strengthen the argument
B. The clothing factory at which most of the townspeople are employed plans to improve their working conditions. - irrelevant
C. After other towns enacted similar bans on the sale of clothing manufactured in sweatshops, the benefits to workers in the clothing manufacturing business were not discernible for several years. - irrelevant - nothing is mentioned about the benefits to workers
D. Since most townspeople prefer clothing manufactured in sweatshops in many instances, they are likely to purchase them in neighboring towns where such goods are available for sale. - CORRECT. Even though the sweatshops are banned, people still seeking to purchase it from somewhere else rather than purchase from non-sweatshops, making the conclusion of the argument break.
E. Sweatshops sometimes produce items other than apparel. - out of scope
Thus, D is the correct answer choice.
