A vs C
If X happens, Y happens.
But it is not true that, If X does not happen, Y will NOT happen.

In A, X happened, so Y must happen.

In C, we cannot say, if politician is not involved in scandal, censured will not happen.

Good one.
We should remember, repeating what is stated in Premise cannot be an answer choice.

Conclusion is:
microwave ovens should not be so readily accepted as a standard appliance until they can be certified to be completely safe
C is supporting this.

I also had a doubt between B/D/E
However, I eliminated B and E because, they are saying the same thing.
