Incumbent candidate for governor: As the people of our great state know, my administration has created unprecedented economic prosperity and job growth. Just look at the unemployment rate, which has reached its lowest point in nearly twenty years!
Opposing candidate for governor: That’s preposterous. You overlook the fact that the unemployment rate is just as much a function of the number of people in the labor market as much as it is of the number of people employed. Your greatest contribution to the economy has been a series of retirement parties and moves to other states!
The opposing candidate’s reply to the incumbent proceeds by:
(A) Supplying a statistic that undermines the incumbent’s conclusion.
(B) Suggesting that the incumbent’s statistic is factually inaccurate.
(C) Offering a statistic that sheds additional light on the statistic supplied by the incumbent.
(D) Claiming that the incumbent used a statistic irrelevant to his conclusion.
(E) Pointing out that the incumbent cited a statistic that does not necessarily support his conclusion.

IMO C
Because incumbent candidate says that the unemployment rate is lowest where as the opposing candidate says that unemployment rate is a function of people in job market.
Since there have been higher number of retirement parties or people moving different states, the number of people in labour market has reduced which the opposing candidate highlights
So this option is introducing a new statistic of number of people in job market that is shedding additional light on the incumbent candidate's conclusion

Answer E
The opposition points out that the statistics pointed out by the incumbent isn’t accurate in validating his claim.
