The people between the age 40 and 50 are more likely to purchase ice cream than any other age group. The popular belief that the teen agers eat more ice cream than the adults, must therefore be false. The argument is false primarily because the author

B. does not supply information about people of age group other than 40 to 50.
C. depends on popular belief rather than on documented research findings.
D. does not specify the precise amount of ice cream purchased by any age group.
