In Europe, schoolchildren devote time during each school day to calisthenics. North American schools rarely offer a daily calisthenics program. Tests prove that North American children are weaker, slower, and shorter-winded than European children. We must conclude that North American children can be made physically fit only if they participate in school calisthenics on a daily basis.
Which of the following is an assumption required by the argument above?

C)All children can be made equally physically fit.
D)European schoolchildren enjoy physical activities more than do American children.
E)American physical education teachers are capable of designing a successful calisthenics program.
