OPTION A - INCORRECT
This isn't the assumption to which the claim is built on because there is no given information or evidence to show that factorial fund is one of the oldest and largest mutual funds in the investment industry.
OPTION B - CORRECT
The claim is based on this assumption because the argument claims that investor who include the factorial fund in their portfolios realised an average capital gain of 15% across all their investment assets. In addition, this option believes the funds performance is likely to persist in the future due to the fact the investors can consider adding the factorial mutual fund to their portfolios.
OPTION C - INCORRECT
There is no prove of this in the argument, so, it can't serve as the assumption to which the argument is based on.
OPTION D - INCORRECT
It's possible that the fund is suitable to all workers, but this isn't the main concern of the argument.
OPTION E - INCORRECT
This isn't the assumption to which the argument is built on because it is not concerned with the fees charged by factorial fund.
