IMO B.

The key here is the comparison between country's X and country's Y foreign aid.

To weaken, we have to find a comparison which will weaken. Only B is giving this answer.

i thought it was C

Y's arg is that their efforts to help 'other countries ' has 'grown'. well if the the most recent amount is a fraction of the original initial amount, then we cant gurantee that their efforts have grown.

B is compelling too, for the same reason that iamcste mentions. the other choices are BS.

EDIT - OOPS, i just saw that i mixed up X and Y. the answer HAS to be B.

X: 125
Y: 100

This is the usual trend.

Option C says that X spent 48 % much of what they spent before:

Xnew = 60

So now even tough it looks like Y spent more than X their contribution did not increase, which weakens the conclusion

Hence, C

It should be C.
Here's why.
Only C indicates that Country X spending on foreign aid had fallen hence Country Y's commitment to helping other countries has not grown.

eracnos - what is the correlation between the spending of Country X and Y's commitment to help other Countries? It is not defined anywhere in the stem..Are they dependent?

Just logically, the fact that Country Y spent more on foreign aid than Country X happened because Country X's spending slumped.
Example.
1945 1990
X 1000 100
y 125 125

Country Y's spending remains at the constant, while the country X's fell to 100. ====> Country Y's spending is not growing as it's leaders are arguing.
Though correlation between spending and commitment is not stated, in my opinion C is the most logical one.
PLZ post the OA!

Y did not change. The X dropped.
