Those who are suspicious of government attempts to regulate industry

Question

Those who are suspicious of government attempts to regulate industry suggest that the well-being of workers would be better served if workers’ unions were established for each profession and radically empowered to establish and enforce the worker protection guidelines currently enforced by the government.

Which of the following, assuming that it is a realistic possibility, argues most strongly against the suggestion above?

A. Workers’ unions might compete for influence over the labor market.
B. Workers’ unions might not always agree on the best way to serve the well-being of the workers.
C. If they wished to expand their operations, workers’ unions might be forced to accept funding from private organizations.
D. Because of their lack of experience, many workers’ unions might not be able to establish better worker protection guidelines than the current guidelines established by the government. 
E. Some groups of workers may continue to be mistreated despite the best efforts of the workers’ unions, even if the unions are not hindered by a lack of resources.

Why D is strongest
 
 It  directly attacks the core idea  that unions would do a  better  job. 
 If unions  lack experience , then:
 
 They may create  weaker or worse guidelines  
 Worker well-being may  not improve  (or could worsen)  
 
 This hits the proposal at its  foundation , not the side effects.  
💥 If unions can’t outperform the government, the entire suggestion collapses.

at first glance looking at OD even I eliminated it, but thats the mistake guys. its not talking about workers making guidelines its simply says the workers dont have knowledge to choose better from all the current already established/made guidelines.

Explanation

The suggestion claims that workers’ well-being would be better served if unions took over the role currently played by the government. To argue most strongly against that claim, we want an option that directly challenges the idea that unions would do a better job than the government.

D  says that many workers’ unions might lack the experience needed to create better protection guidelines than those already established by the government.
If that’s true, then shifting authority from the government to unions would not improve worker well-being and could even make things worse. That strikes at the heart of the suggestion.

A  and  B  point to internal conflicts or disagreements, but those don’t show that workers would be worse off than under government regulation.

C  raises a potential risk about funding, but it’s speculative and indirect.

E  says mistreatment may still occur, which doesn’t undermine the claim that unions would do better overall than the government, no system is perfect.

So  D  most directly and forcefully undercuts the proposal.

The correct answer is D.
