Studies of voting patterns in the town of Glen Isle have shown that the single most effective way for politicians to win votes is to purchase expensive television advertising. A candidate challenging the incumbent for a seat on the town council has argued that the importance of television advertising inherently favors incumbents and therefore that political television advertising should be banned in Glen Isle.
The challenger's conclusion logically depends on which of the following assumptions?
(A) Incumbents have won eighty percent of the elections in Glen Isle in the last 10 years.
(B) Some incumbent candidates in Glen Isle have been able to win votes by organizing frequent political rallies.
(C) Not all challengers in Glen Isle are skilled political fundraisers.
(D) Glen Isle incumbents have access to financial support in excess of that available to challengers.
(E) Banning political television advertising is not unconstitutional.

A should be the answer. Importance of television advertising inherently favors incumbents. Incumbents won majority elections. Hence television advertising should be banned.
Only option E is close. But it's out of scope.

IMO it should be
Option D
Conclusion: Challenger wants to ban TV ads--> coz it favors the incumbent-> coz they can buy up all prime ad space--> historically more ad space > chance of winning
The assumption is that: Challenger cannot buy this prime time hence seeking the ban.
Option A: Incumbents have 8/10 time- which is why they are incumbent, it doesn't explain if they can buy it more or not or if that is why they have won....
Negating it also doesn't challenge the conclusion.
Option D: Incumbents are better financially to do so, is negated-> incumbents also cannot buy the ads, so if neither can buy the ads.. what is the point of seeing the ban? Thus D is the option.
