Betting on sports, even for small stakes among friends, is a form of gambling. Therefore, no police officer should ever bet on sports.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the conclusion that no police officer should ever bet on sports?

A Gambling is illegal in many states and countries.
B Some people who bet on sports are convicted criminals.
C People who bet on sports sometimes can ill afford to lose the amounts they gamble.
D No police officer should ever gamble.
E Many philosophers consider gambling to be immoral.

What is wrong with option C?

Conclusion: No officer should bet on sports
Premise: Betting on sports is a form of gambling
The conclusion only makes sense if officers shouldn't gamble. (If it were acceptable for them to gamble, why would it matter if they bet on sports?) This is what we get from D

C doesn't address why police officers, specifically, should not bet on sports. Moreover it does nothing to foster the connection between gambling and betting on sports, the link the entire argument is predicated on.

(It's also helpful to mentally translate "some" to "at least one." Why would it matter to the argument that there's someone somewhere who can't afford to lose money gambling?)
