Columnist: It is impossible for there to be real evidence that lax radiation standards that were once in effect at nuclear reactors actually contributed to the increase in cancer rates near such sites. The point is a familiar one: who can say if a particular case of cancer is due to radiation, exposure to environmental toxins, smoking, poor diet, or genetic factors.
The argument's reasoning is most vulnerable to criticism on which one of the following grounds?
A) The arguement fails to recognize that there may be convincing statistical evidence even if indivudual causes cannot be known
B) The argument inappropriately presupposes that what follows a certain phenomenon was caused by that phenomenon
C) The argument inappropriately draws a conclusion about causes of cancer in general from evidence drawn from a particular case of cancer
D) The argument ignores other possible causes of increase in cancer rates near the nuclear reactor complexes
E) The argument concluedes that a claim about a causal connection is false on the basis of a lack of evidence for the claim

The columnist bases too much on individual cases to say that it is impossible( too extreme and neglects other possibilities) blah blah ---> A attacks this point.
would go for A.
i need to be more careful.
