Station manager: The repeat slots for a season are settled once the season ends. Every programme we repeated last season had been recorded in front of a studio audience. Recording before an audience, then, is what marked a programme out as one worth repeating. 'Marsh Hours' was recorded in front of an audience last season, so we must have repeated it.

The flawed reasoning in the argument above is most closely paralleled in which one of the following?

AThe plots to be re-let are settled once the digging season is over. Every plot we re-let last season had been kept under a winter cover crop. A cover crop, then, is what marked a plot out as one worth re-letting. Bell Piece was under a cover crop last season, so we must have re-let it.

BThe second showings for a run are settled once the run has finished. Every episode given a second showing last run had been taped before a live crowd. 'Harrow Lane' was given no second showing, so it cannot have been taped before a crowd.

CThe rosettes for a show are settled once the judging ends. Every cheese that took one last season had been made from morning milk. Morning milk, then, is what marked a cheese out as one worth a rosette. 'Lindow' took a rosette last season, so we must have made it from morning milk.

DThe bursaries for a year are settled once the year ends. Every student awarded one last year had sat the entrance paper. Rowan was awarded a bursary, so Rowan sat the paper, and so is among the ablest in the year.

ESecond runs are settled once the season ends. Most shows taped before a live crowd last season were run again. Taping before a crowd, then, is what marked a show out as one worth running again. 'Wexford Green' was taped before a crowd last season, so we must have run it again.
