E: Some people buy breath freshening products for reasons other than to fight bad breath.
Say there are 100 people, out of which 5 buy breath freshening products for reasons other than to fight bad breath.

The remaining 95 people would still buy breath freshening products to fight bad breath. So does this describe a flaw in the argument? No. Because we still don't know how those 95 people are reacting to the awareness. So this option is irrelevant.
D: A recent survey shows that 94% of those who regularly purchase breath freshening products are aware of the effectiveness of the tongue scraper.
From those 95 people who purchase breath freshening products 94% are aware of how effective TS are. (approx 89 people).
Now these 89 people have been using breath freshening products regularly and are not affected by how effective TS are. So the market of breath freshening products will not decline significantly. Hence this weakens the conclusion.
you seems to be pretty analytical :-)
i guess, you wll make every CR in the real thing right.
Keep flying
