In the near future, safety experts will be able to perfectly identify any vehicular design flaw that might lead to an accident. Eventually, material sciences will grow so advanced that vehicle manufacturers will be able to ensure the resolution of any such flaw. Therefore, vehicles made by manufacturers who properly identify and resolve these flaws will never have an accident.
The argument above is based on which of the following assumptions?
A) For every vehicular design flaw, there is only one resolution that can prevent it from leading to an accident.
B) In the future, material sciences will be the only area of research of any importance to vehicle manufacturers.
C) Vehicle manufacturers will follow expert safety advice when they are convinced that it is effective.
D) All vehicles have some design flaw that can lead to an accident.
E) All vehicular accidents are in part the result of the vehicle’s design flaws.

Main point:
Vehicles whose manufacturers identify and fix all design flaws will never have an accident.
Premises:
The conclusion says “never have an accident.”
That only works if every accident comes from a design flaw. Otherwise accidents could still happen due to weather, human error, etc.
Now eliminate choices:
A) Says each flaw has only one solution.
Not needed. Multiple solutions could exist.
B) Says material science will be the only important research area.
Irrelevant.
C) Says manufacturers will follow safety advice if convinced.
Conclusion already talks about manufacturers who “properly identify and resolve” flaws, so this is unnecessary.
D) Says all vehicles have some flaw.
Not required. Even if some vehicles are flawless, argument still works.
E) Says all accidents are at least partly caused by design flaws.
This is necessary. Otherwise accidents could happen for unrelated reasons, destroying the conclusion that accidents will never occur.

A) For every vehicular design flaw, there is only one resolution that can prevent it from leading to an accident.
>The argument only needs flaws to be resolvable, not uniquely resolvable. Multiple solutions could exist.
B) In the future, material sciences will be the only area of research of any importance to vehicle manufacturers.
>The argument says nothing about other research areas. Irrelevant.
C) Vehicle manufacturers will follow expert safety advice when they are convinced that it is effective.
>The conclusion already talks about manufacturers who properly identify and resolve flaws. Even if, they do not follow expert safety advice when they are convinced that it is effective, the argument still holds.
D) All vehicles have some design flaw that can lead to an accident.
>Not necessary. Some vehicles may already have no dangerous flaws.
E) All vehicular accidents are in part the result of the vehicle’s design flaws.
>Necessary assumption. Otherwise accidents could still occur from non-design causes even after all flaws are fixed.
