Company spokesperson: Household Products magazine claims that our Filterator X water filter does not remove chemical contaminants in significant amounts. This attack on the quality of our product is undermined by the experience of the millions of Filterator X owners who are satisfied with the product's performance.
Which one of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the company spokesperson's argument?
(A) Household Products did not evaluate whether the Filterator X water filter significantly improved the taste of drinking water.
(B) Most Filterator X owners have no way to determine how effectively the product removes chemical contaminants from water.
(C) People whose household water contains chemical contaminants are more likely than other people to buy a Filterator X water filter.
(D) Very few people who own a Filterator X read Household Products on a consistent basis.
(E) Household Products' evaluations of Filterator X water filters have been consistently negative.

Company spokesperson: Household Products magazine claims that our Filterator X water filter does not remove chemical contaminants in significant amounts. This attack on the quality of our product is undermined by the experience of the millions of Filterator X owners who are satisfied with the product's performance.
Sentence 1 : Household Products magazine claims that our Filterator X water filter does not remove chemical contaminants in significant amounts
Sentence 2: This is an attack on the quality of our product is undermined by the experience of the millions of Filterator X owners who are satisfied with the product's performance.
So S1 tells that Filterator X does not remove chemical contaminants in significant amounts while S2 tells that owners are satisfied with the performance. So there is a gap.
Which one of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the company spokesperson's argument?
Now we have to weaken the argument of spokesperson. This can only happen if we find some fault in the Filterator X owner's satisfaction.
(A) Household Products did not evaluate whether the Filterator X water filter significantly improved the taste of drinking water.-> Taste is new variable so discarded.
(B) Most Filterator X owners have no way to determine how effectively the product removes chemical contaminants from water.->Correct this is the actual reason, since they don't know how effectively the product removes chemical contaminants from water, they are satisfied.
(C) People whose household water contains chemical contaminants are more likely than other people to buy a Filterator X water filter.-> We are not able to find the fault in Filterator X owner's satisfaction so discarded.
(D) Very few people who own a Filterator X read Household Products on a consistent basis. -> Out of context.
(E) Household Products' evaluations of Filterator X water filters have been consistently negative.-> This is questioning the Premise, which can never happen, we can't challenge Premise.
