Each year, the number of students caught copying in examination is nearly the same as the number of students caught driving without a valid driving license and the number of students caught traveling without a valid ticket. Therefore, the outcry about copying in examination ought to be put to rest, as the act of copying in examination is in fact almost as mundane as the acts of driving without a valid driving license or traveling without a valid ticket.

Which one of the following, if true, would most effectively undermine the author's argument?

AAlthough the number of students caught driving without a valid driving license each year is very small, the total number of incidences of students traveling without a valid ticket is many times greater.

BThe punishments upon being caught copying in examination are graver than those upon being caught driving without a valid driving license or traveling without a valid ticket.

CFewer students would take their chances with driving without a valid driving license and traveling without a valid ticket than with copying in examination.

DCheating in general—including copying in examination—is more prevalent than driving without a valid driving license.

EThe prevalence of wrongdoings such as copying in examination, driving without a valid driving license or traveling without a valid ticket among students is inversely proportional to their probability of getting caught.
