Most proposed legislation is introduced by legislators who, seeking to serve their own personal interests, stand to benefit if the legislation is passed into law. However, since most proposed legislation is not passed into law, most attempts by legislators to serve their own personal interests are unsuccessful.
The reasoning in the argument above is vulnerable to criticism on which of the following grounds?
A. It does not take into account the fact that legislation can be proposed by people other than legislators.
B. It does not acknowledge that some proposed legislation is introduced by legislators who are not attempting to serve their own personal interests.
C. It ignores the possibility that proposed legislation that serves a legislator's personal interests might also serve the interests of other people.
D. It neglects to indicate what percentage of proposed legislation introduced by legislators is passed into law.
E. It falls to rule out explicitly the possibility that legislators successfully serve their own personal interests by means other than proposed legislation.

It makes an implicit assumption that passing legislation into the law is the only way to serve their own personal interest.
But that's not the case.
Option E points it out and is the answer.
