Waste resulting from use of plastics is usually dumped in oceans. However, since plastics leech harmful chemicals into water, such dumping of plastic waste in oceans harms many life forms in oceans, disrupting the delicate balance of the marine ecosystem. Recycled plastics leech much lower amount of chemicals per pound of waste than non-recycled plastics do. In an effort to increase the use of recycled plastics, the government has introduced subsidies on recycled plastics, making such plastic goods much cheaper. Therefore, the negative impact of plastic usage on marine ecosystems can be reduced by encouraging public to avail the cost savings provided by government subsidies.
Which of the following statements most weakens the above argument?
(A) Dumping of radioactive waste causes a much greater harm to the marine life in oceans than either of recycled plastic and non-recycled plastic
(B) Many life forms in oceans have the capability to develop immunity against the harmful chemicals released by plastic waste.
(C) Providing subsidies on recycled plastics is a costly ordeal to the government, increasing the government expenditure by a significant margin
(D) Waste from non-recycled plastic can be processed and disposed of twice as quickly as the waste from recycled plastic.
(E) The availability of cheaper plastic goods is likely to significantly drive up the demand of such goods

(A) Dumping of radioactive waste causes a much greater harm to the marine life in oceans than either of recycled plastic and non-recycled plastic

Which of the following statements most weakens the above argument?
(A) Dumping of radioactive waste causes a much greater harm to the marine life in oceans than either of recycled plastic and non-recycled plastic--->The argument is about use of plastics, radioactive is alien
(B) Many life forms in oceans have the capability to develop immunity against the harmful chemicals released by plastic waste.--->Doesn't weaken the argument
(C) Providing subsidies on recycled plastics is a costly ordeal to the government, increasing the government expenditure by a significant margin--->The argument is not related to cost ordeal or government expenditure
(D) Waste from non-recycled plastic can be processed and disposed of twice as quickly as the waste from recycled plastic.--->No mention of non-recycled plastic, again alien
(E) The availability of cheaper plastic goods is likely to significantly drive up the demand of such goods--->Good choice. Public will likely use plastic goods more if its cheaper which actually weakens the argument.
