The average score on a standardized test among management majors was just over 500 in 2014. The test is said to be highly reliable, meaning the scores of a particular individual vary only minimally if taking the test multiple times without significant test preparation between sittings. Therefore, most management majors who take the test must have scored at least 490 in that same year.
The argument is vulnerable to criticism on which of these grounds?
A. It assumes that the average achievement level of Management majors is similar to all other groups who take the test.
B. It assumes that if a certain average score is obtained over several sittings for the average test taker, then approximately the same average score will apply to a Management major.
C. It confuses a conclusion that would necessarily follow from the available information with a conclusion that would follow from the available information with a high degree of probability.
D. It overlooks the possibility that even if the average score of Management majors was close to 500, there could have been a number of individuals who obtained near perfect scores.
E. It overlooks the possibility that even if most test takers achieve similar scores each time they sit for the exam, a given Management major might spend adequate time preparing for the exam and get a significantly higher score on his next sitting.

Why is E wrong? Can anyone explain? Although I prefer D myself, I am just curious about how to eliminate E
