Will go with C.

If ... tends to weaken the argument, and the missing part should provide the reason for it.

IMO - C

C gives the reason that ppl who have bought computers would anyways have not watched TV.

E somehow seems to indicate that the TV watching time would have increased.. This is not said in the main statement..

(C) makes more sense as it clearly states that computer owners are a completely seprate group who were never interested in TV viewing , so any time they spend on computer will not harm tv ratings

What's the OA???

IMO I think it is E.


It clearly shows that just because you own a computer doesn't mean TV time will decline but in fact go stay level/go up since the person has more time.
