Logical reasoning: Opponents of laws that require automobile drivers and passengers to wear seat belts argue that in a free society people have the right to take risks as long as people do not harm others as a result of taking risks. As a result, they conclude that it should be each person’s decision whether or not to wear a seat belt. Which of the following if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion drawn above?

A    Many new cars built with seat belts that automatically fasten when someone sits in the front seat.

B    Automobile insurance rates for all automobile owners are higher because of the need to pay for the increased injuries or deaths of people not wearing seat belts.

C    Passengers in airplanes are required to wear seat belts during takeoffs and landings.

D     The rate of automobile fatalities in states that do not have mandatory seat belt laws is greater than the rate of fatalities in states that do have such laws.
