To prevent the incidence of highway robberies, the government of Baptesia formed a Highway Patrol Force two years back whose sole task was to patrol the countrys highways and prevent highway robberies. Ever since the formation of the Highway Patrol Force, there have been only a handful of highway robberies and the individual losses suffered in these robberies were far less than the expenses incurred on maintaining the Highway Patrol Force. The government of Baptesia should, thus, disband the Highway Patrol Force and provide compensation to victims of highway robberies instead.

The above argument is flawed because:

(A) It ignores the fact that the presence of the Highway Patrol Force could be the reason for the small number of highway robberies in the past two years.
(B) It unjustifiably assumes that the government has enough money to pay compensation to the victims of highway robberies.
(C) It ignores the possibility that the Highway Patrol Force could be used for other purposes instead of being disbanded.
(D) It makes use of unverified facts to arrive at a conclusion.
(E) It does not consider data from other countries, that have similar task forces, before arriving at its conclusion.
