Dorsey received a dining room set from his grandmother, who had stored the furniture in a storage facility for more than a year. When he sat in one of the chairs, however, the wicker seat buckled and split. Dorsey attributed the break to the damp and musty conditions in the storage locker, which had caused the seat to rot.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on Dorsey's conclusion

A. The table, which was not made of wicker, did not appear to sustain any substantive damage.

B. Dorsey broke through the seat of a brand-new identical chair that he bought to replace the broken one.

C. The storage company had never received any complaints about rotted furniture in the past.

D. Dorsey keeps a lot of his old furniture in his basement, which is also musty and damp.

E. The furniture manufacturer refused to honor the chair's warranty because it felt the chair had been treated poorly.

To know what would cast a serious doubt to Dorsey's conclusion, we should pay attention to any alternative opinion about the broken chair.
Premise: After seating on one of the seats Dorsey got from his grandmother's dining room set, the seat bucked and split.
Conclusion: The chair broke because of the damp and musty condition of the storage locker where the set was kept.

OPTION A - INCORRECT
This is outside the scope of the argument. The argument's main concern is the chair and not the table.

OPTION B - CORRECT
If this is true, then Dorsey's conclusion will be flawed because the new wicker chair wasn't placed in facility storage, unlike the one which broke.

OPTION C - INCORRECT
This is irrelevant to why we should doubt Dorsey's conclusion.

OPTION D - INCORRECT
We don't care if Dorsey also keeps old furniture in his basement. This doesn't give us any other information about why we should doubt Dorsey's conclusion.

OPTION E - INCORRECT
The argument is not concerned with any of this.
