In Gandania, where the government has a monopoly on tobacco sales, the incidence of smoking-related health problems has risen steadily for the last twenty years. The health secretary recently proposed a series of laws aimed at curtailing tobacco use in Gandania. Profits from tobacco sales, however, account for ten percent of Gandania's annual revenues. Therefore, Gandania cannot afford to institute the proposed laws.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

Therefore, Gandania cannot afford to institute the proposed laws.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. All health care in Gandania is government-funded. B. Implementing the proposed laws is not likely to cause a significant increase in the amount of tobacco Gandania exports. C. The percentage of revenue Gandania receives from tobacco sales has remained steady in recent years. D.  rofits from tobacco sales far surpass any other single source of revenue for the Gandanian government. E. No government official in Gandania has ever previously proposed laws aimed at curtailing tobacco use.
The line of reasoning states that (because) tobacco acounts for 10 persent of Gandania's anual revenue, Gandania can not afford to lose the revenue by enact the new regulation.
The underlying assumption is the 10 percent revenue, which constructed by tobacco sales, accounts for Gandania's law making.
C says the revenue percentage from tobacco sales remain steady recent years. Even it means when total revenue increases, tabacco sales increases, and vice versa. However, no matter which is the case. the hard core reality is tobacco sales constitute a pivotal part of Gandania's revenue.
