Every year, thousands of students graduate from fine art programs conducted by schools all over the country. Most art galleries and museums, however, only lend about 1% of their exhibit space to unknown contemporary artists. It is clear that a successful career as an artist is more like a fantasy than a possible achievement.
Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the argument's conclusion?
A) Fine art programs have always been popular because they offer students a true opportunity to express themselves.
B) Although some art galleries are government institutions, many are private companies that operate in a similar way to ordinary retailers.
C) The development of the Internet, and communications technology in general, has created a constant need for talented artists of all kinds.
D) Last year, 61% of people under the age of 30 who filed for unemployment benefits had degrees in the fine arts.
E) Because today's art market is a global one, individual artists must compete with thousands of others from all over the world, if they are to become successful.

We need to find an alternative to the argument's conclusion.
Premise: Thousands of students graduate from fine art programs conducted by schools all over the country.
Conclusion: Having a successful career as an artist is more like a fantasy than a possible achievement.
OPTION A - INCORRECT
We are not concerned about the popularity of fine art programs.
OPTION B - INCORRECT
This doesn't doubt the conclusion to the argument either as a government institution or private company, it does not cast doubt to the impossible successful achievement as an artist.
OPTION C - CORRECT
If true, it means that artist can have a successful career as artists through the use of the internet instead of lending space in art galleries and museums.
OPTION D - INCORRECT
This shows the percentage of unsuccessful artists after getting a degree in fine arts.
OPTION E - INCORRECT
If true, it doesn't provide a remedy to the 1% exhibition space allocated to unknown contemporary artists.
Thanks
