Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above? A. The antibiotic made from the tutu fishs scales is only available by prescription. B. Because tutu fish are rare, they are also expensive. C. The inhabitants of Sando Island regard the meat of the tutu fish as a delicacy. D. Tutu fish breed well in captivity, and can be cultivated on fish farms. E. Sando Island is difficult to reach since it does not have an airstrip.
