Prison overcrowding has forced the early release of hundreds of criminals back into the population of Metro City. This explains the increase in violent robberies since the early releases began.

Which of the following, if true, jeopardizes the conclusion drawn in the argument above?

A. The prisoners released early were first time offenders who had never committed violent crimes.
B. The parole board that released the criminals was under significant pressure to do so.
C. All prisoners released early are required to report to probation officers.
D. In an attempt to lower the incidence of violent crime, police officers will work overtime.
E. The population of Metro City would like to stop the early release of any criminals.

We need to find what question the authenticity of the conclusion provided by the argument.
Premise: Overcrowding in prisons has forced the early release of hundreds of criminals back into the population of Metro city.
Conclusion: The increase in violent robberies in the Metro city is as a result of the early release of criminals.

OPTION A - CORRECT
This jeopardizes the conclusion because it opposes the idea that the early release of criminals is responsible for the violent robberies in the city.

OPTION B - INCORRECT
This doesn't give a different reason to the violent attacks, so, it doesn't jeopardize the conclusion given to the argument.

OPTION C - INCORRECT
If true, it doesn't affect the conclusion drawn in the argument in any way.

OPTION D - INCORRECT
The argument is not concerned about the lowering of the violent crime in the city. It is more interested in the reason for the violent crimes.

OPTION E - INCORRECT
If true, putting a stop to the early release of criminals, resolves back to the overcrowded prisons.
