Time and again it has been shown that students who attend colleges with low faculty/student ratios get the most well-rounded education. As a result, when my children are ready to attend college, I'll be sure they attend a school with a very small student population.
Which of the following, if true, identifies the greatest flaw in the reasoning above?
A) A low faculty/student ratio is the effect of a well-rounded education, not its source.
B) Intelligence should be considered the result of childhood environment, not advanced education.
C) A very small student population does not by itself, ensure a low faculty/student ratio.
D) Parental desires and preferences rarely determines a child's choice of a college or university.
E) Students must take advantage of the low faculty/student ratio by intentionally choosing small classes.
OA : C
Can someone explain why A is not the answer.

Conclusion - As a result, when my children are ready to attend college, I'll be sure they attend a school with a very small student population.
Premise - students who attend colleges with low faculty/student ratios get the most well-rounded education
Underlying assumption - A small student population => low faculty/student ratio.
As C violates the assumption, its the greatest flaw.
