Approximately \(8\) million income-earning men have children who are between \(3-5\) years of age, and approximately \(7\) million men are the sole income earners for their families. These figures indicate that there are comparatively few income-earning men who have children belonging to the age group of \(3-5\) but are not the sole income earners for their families.
A major flaw in the reasoning is that it
A) Ignores the possibility, that families with children belonging to the age group of \(3-5\) might also have older children.
B) Fails to indicate whether the difference between the two figures cited will tend to remain stable over time.
C) Relies in figures that are too imprecise to support the conclusion drawn.
D) Overlooks the possibility that there is little or no overlap between the two populations of men cited.
E) Provides no information on families in which women are the sole income earners.
The OA is D
