Every year in this country there are over 8000 personal accidents on golf courses, yet it is estimated that as few as five percent of all golfers take out adequate insurance against claims for injury.

Which one of the following identifies the flaw in the argument above?

 A It ignores the fact that millions of golfers never have an accident.

 B It assumes that all insurance policies provide adequate insurance against claims.

 C It implies that the occurrence of golfing accidents is causally related to the lack of insurance.

 D It overlooks the possibility that some accidents would not be covered by insurance.

 E It ignores the fact that there are different kinds of insurance for different kinds of activity.
