Industrial accidents are more common when some of the people in safety-sensitive jobs have drinking problems than when none do. Since, even after treatment, people who have had drinking problems are somewhat more likely than other people to have drinking problems in the future, any employer trying to reduce the risk of accidents should bar anyone who has ever been treated for a drinking problem from holding a safety-sensitive job.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument above?

Premise: workers with previous drinking problem is more prone to accidents than worker with no previous drinking problems.

Conclusion: any employer trying to reduce the risk of accidents should bar anyone who has ever been treated for a drinking problem from holding a safety-sensitive job.

That is a pretty drastic measure.  Let's see if any of the answer choice would ruin this otherwise foolproof safety measure. (C) says that workers might lie about their drinking problem and can still remain on the job. Then based on the premise, these liars would be accident prone! So drastic measure, once installed, might not lead to reduction of accidents.  

(C) weakens the arugment.
