Sugarmaker: Sap stops running on the ridge before it stops in the hollow, and always has. This spring it stopped four days earlier there, and our ridge taps yielded less syrup than our hollow taps. The shorter run on the ridge is at least part of why. Both woods were tapped on one day and boiled in the same pan.

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?

AOn some days this spring the ridge taps ran when the hollow's did not, both woods tapped on one day.

BSap began running on the ridge five days before it began running in the hollow, and both woods had their taps in on the ridge's first day.

CThe ridge's trees come into leaf four days before the hollow's, and in both woods sap stops running once the leaf is out.

DSyrup boiled from the last sap of a season is dark and fetches less, and what the hollow taps drew this spring after sap stopped running on the ridge was late sap.

EThe sap running on the ridge went into the pan after the hollow's each day, by which time scale had built, and a scaled pan slows a boil.
