The remains of a brewery in the southern most settlement of an ancient Peruvian empire appears to provide proof that women of high rank crafted 'Chicha', a beer like beverage, that was treasured by the Wan people Decorative shawl pins, worn exclusively by high caste women, littered the floor of the brewery, which was capable of producing more than 475 gallons of the potent brew a week.
Which of the following, if true, would most undermine the argument above?
A. 'The brewers were not only women, but elite women", says Donna Nash of the field Museum in Chicago, a member of the archaeology team studying the Cerro Bail site where the rums were found
B. Incontrovertible proof has been found suggesting that this brewery was used as a storing space by ancient marauders.
C. Ancient Peruvian women were forbidden from manufacturing liquor.
D. Chicha is made from corn and spicy berries both of these were not grown in ancient Peru nor could be imported
E. The brewery churned out "Chicha- for nearly 400 years before the Imposing site-situated on a mesa summit more than 10,000 feet above sea was mysteriously abandoned

I would say B, because its the only one that fragilises the premise on which the hypothesis was made, (that they found proof in the breweries that suggested the presence of high rank women in them) if they were used as storage, it means that the objects found can be due to the storage activity in the facility, not to the presence of these women.
C can be eliminated by the fact that liquor is not specified to used in the “Chicha” and beers can be non-alcoholic.
