Donna: "Every Year, Many People Die Due to Carbon Monoxide

Multiple Choice

Donna: "Every year, many people die due to carbon monoxide poisoning in their homes. A carbon monoxide detector can detect harmful levels of the gas and alert people before it is too late. Every home should be required to have a carbon monoxide detector because it would save lives."
Tom: "That is ridiculous. We cannot mandate that every person install a carbon monoxide detector. We cannot prevent every tragedy and besides, more people die every year from smoke inhalation than carbon monoxide."
Tom's response to Donna is flawed because it

A) Uses an ad hominem attack instead of attacking the substance of Donna's argument.
B) Attacks only the reasoning behind Donna's argument but not her conclusion.
C) Uses an improper comparison by comparing carbon monoxide detectors to smoke detectors.
D) Disagrees with the premise of the argument, but not the principle behind it.
E) Claims that because the problem Donna proposes to fix is not the largest problem and is not completely fixable, her argument is completely without merit.
