X: In order to reduce the amount of plastic in landfills, legislatures should impose a ban on the use of plastics for packaging goods.
Y: Impossible! Plastic packaging is necessary for public safety. Consumers will lose all of the safety features that plastic offers, chiefly tamper-resistant closures and shatterproof bottles.
Which of the following best describes the weak point in Y's response to X's proposal?
A. Y ignores the possibility that packaging goods in materials other than plastic might provide the same safety features that packaging in plastic offers.
B. The economic disadvantages of using plastics as a means of packaging goods are not taken into consideration.
C. Y attempts to shift the blame for the large amount of plastic in landfills from the users of plastic packaging to the legislators.
D. Y does not consider the concern of some manufacturers that safety features spoil package appearances.
E. Y wrongly assumes that X defends the interests of the manufacturers rather than the interests of the consumers.

"Y's" contention is that plastic packaging provides some critical public safety features which cannot be overlooked. Hence the assumption behind "Y's" claim is that no other forms of packaging can provide similar safety features. This has been stated in answer choice "A". Hence that is the answer.
