179. Premiums for automobile accident insurance are often higher for red cars than for cars of other colors. To justify these higher charges, insurance companies claim that, overall, a greater percentage of red cars are involved in accidents than are cars of any other color. If this claim is true, then lives could undoubtedly be saved by banning red cars from the roads altogether.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument
(A) Accepts without question that insurance companies have the right to charge higher premiums for higher-risk clients
(B) Fails to consider whether red cars cost the same to repair as cars of other colors
(C) ignores the possibility that drivers who drive recklessly have a preference for red cars
(D) Does not specify precisely what percentage of red cars are involved in accidents
(E) Makes an unsupported assumption that every automobile accident results in some loss of life
Please explain
