Most people who betray their country through some form of espionage are driven by irrational desires to feel powerful or important, to seek revenge, or even to take risks. If these people were thinking rationally, they would not be involved in such self-destructive behavior.

The argument above rests on which of the following assumptions?

1-Self-destruction is the most frequent result of espionage.
2-The desire to feel powerful is always irrational.
3-Those involved in espionage do not have rational reasons for their behavior.
4-Espionage is rarely a successful way to gain revenge.
5-Risk-taking is a less frequent motivation for espionage than the desire to feel important.

What is the best explanation of the best option?

Option A - INCORRECT.
Self destruction as said is the most frequent result of espionage only if you are caught in the act.

Option B - INCORRECT.
The desire to feel powerful is not irrational, because if it is then most people won't be clamoring for power.

Option C - CORRECT.
This option is the most suitable option that defines the argument in this speech. Those involved in espionage do not have rational reasons for their behavior, they are always sent to do so by the powerful men in power before them. This powerful men use this opportunity on government in power to gain revenge on their oppositions or potential enemies.

Option D - INCORRECT.
Espionage is often part of an institutional effort by a government to gain power and also achieve some irrational desires.

Option E - INCORRECT.
The statement is in this option is right because people who deal with espionage are carefree about risk. This is due to their selfish desires which may lead them to their self destruction.
