The newly elected prime minister of Cyberia, Mr O, prefers using vehicles made by the domestic firm MAHA-Indra. The most important criterion in Cyberia for selecting a vehicle for people holding top constitutional posts is the security cover provided by that vehicle. The current fleet for the prime minister consists of cars made by BMUU, all of which employ the UltraS security technology. Therefore, it’s unlikely that the new prime minister will continue to use cars made by MAHA-Indra.
Which of the following statements, if true, weakens the author’s conclusion?
A. In laboratory tests conducted by the Max institute to measure fuel economy, BMUU lagged behind MAHA-Indra.
B. Three previous prime ministers have relied on MAHA-Indra SUV as their vehicle of choice.
C. Most heads of state have switched to cheaper cars, choosing austerity over security, since the recession in 2008.
D. A new technology, MagniShield, developed by MAHA-Indra is very effective at preventing attacks launched from land, sea or air.
E. Early in his political career, Mr O had taken a vow of not using foreign vehicles for official purposes.

Which of the following statements, if true, weakens the author’s conclusion?
Prime minister prefers MAHA-Indra (MI).
Values security over all else.
Currently uses BMUU
Therefore, Prime minister won't use MI.
A. In laboratory tests conducted by the Max institute to measure fuel economy, BMUU lagged behind MAHA-Indra.
Irrelevant. Safety is the paramount test.
B. Three previous prime ministers have relied on MAHA-Indra SUV as their vehicle of choice.
Historical choice does not lead to a decisive future choice.
C. Most heads of state have switched to cheaper cars, choosing austerity over security, since the recession in 2008.
We are not given a timeline in the paragraph, so we have no way to gauge relevancy. Alot can change from 2008 to 2015. etc.
D. A new technology, MagniShield, developed by MAHA-Indra is very effective at preventing attacks launched from land, sea or air.
This is the only choice that fits. MI touches on the discussion of security. From the description in this choice, this sounds like an effective piece of tech, which can sway the prime minister from using BMUU to MI.
E. Early in his political career, Mr O had taken a vow of not using foreign vehicles for official purposes.
We don't know if BMUU is foreign or domestic.
