Tom: Employers complain that people graduating from high school too often lack the vocational skills required for full-time employment. Therefore, since these skills are best acquired on the job, we should require high school students to work at part-time jobs so that they acquire the skills needed for today’s job market.
Mary: There are already too few part-time jobs for students who want to work, and simply requiring students to work will not create jobs for them.
Which one of the following most accurately describes how Mary’s response is related to Tom’s argument?
(A) It analyzes an undesirable result of undertaking the course of action that Tom recommends.
(B) It argues that Tom has mistaken an unavoidable trend for an avoidable one.
(C) It provides information that is inconsistent with an explicitly stated premise in Tom’s argument.
(D) It presents a consideration that undercuts an assumption on which Tom’s argument depends.
(E) It defends an alternative solution to the problem that Tom describes.

IMO B
This is the option that makes more sense to me.
A) Mary's decision does not suggest any "undesirable" result or imply any such results.
B) On Hold-After eliminating other options
C) No where in Tom's statement is mentioned about creating more jobs.
D)Tom's assumption is that part-time jobs helps in acquiring such vocational skills. Mary's statement is more related to creating more jobs. I dont see any corelation.
E) Mary's decision does not reflect an alternative solution.

Tom's assumptions are:-
1.) part time jobs will provide adequate vocational skills.
2.) enough part time jobs are available for all high school students.
Mary counters the argument presented by Tom with the reason that there are not enough part time jobs in the market and there are some students who genuinely want to work part time out of their own will (may be because of money or gaining experience, etc.). just by making the part time work mandatory for all high schools, the shortage of jobs will not be fulfilled.
(D) It presents a consideration that undercuts an assumption on which Tom’s argument depends.
option D perfectly explains this argument. "It presents a consideration" (concern regarding shortage of part time jobs) that "undercuts an assumption" (enough jobs available for all high school students) on which Tom’s argument depends.
BR
Will be happy to learn a better reasoning
