Identify the most valid inference from the situation below:

A social program has been instituted in Washington, D.C. in which residents can sell guns to the municipal government in exchange for cash. This program is very popular, and the police believe that it will lead directly to a decrease in robberies.

(A) Some people who sell guns to the government are criminals.
(B) Police believe that an abundance of available guns increases the number of robberies.
(C) Most robberies that occur in Washington, D.C. are armed robberies.
(D) Some of the guns that have been sold to the government have been used in robberies.
(E) Robbery is the only crime residents usually commit with a gun in Washington, D.C.

OA B

Conclusion: Program = decrease in robberies.

Evidence: Residents get paid $$$ for guns.

Assumptions: Something that links "guns" (the Evidence) to "robberies" (the Conclusion).

The answer is B.
