Egypt

The ancient Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten, who had a profound effect during his lifetime on Egyptian art and religion, was well loved and highly respected by his subjects. We know this from the fierce loyalty show to him by his palace guards, as documented in reports written during Akhenaten’s reign.
A questionable technique used in the argument is to
(A) introduce information that actually contradicts the conclusion
(B) rely on evidence that in principle would be impossible to challenge
(C) make a generalization based on a sample that is likely to be unrepresentative
(D) depend on the ambiguity of the term “ancient”
(E) apply present-day standards in an inappropriate way to ancient times

Option C sounds correct.

Palace guards cant be considered as fully representative of his subjects under consideration.

Lets see why I think B cannot be right.

The "evidence" that B refers to is actually just the SOURCE of evidence in this case. The documented reports from Akhenaten's reign cannot be challenged.

The REAL evidence quoted here in this problem is the claim that his palace guards showed fierce loyalty (according to the source: documented reports). We are more concerned about this real evidence as we have to point out a flaw in his argument.

B is wrong because regardless of whether the reports are valid, the guards don't represent his subjects anyway!
