A questionable aspect of the reasoning above is that it

  1. A. Follows a clear and valid logical chain

  2. B. Neglects to present a conclusion

  3. C. Relies heavily on expert opinion

  4. D. Makes unwarranted assumptions

The correct answer is: D. Makes unwarranted assumptions

In this question, the argument is being scrutinized for a questionable aspect. The argument is faulted for making unwarranted assumptions. This means that the reasoning in the argument is relying on assumptions that are not supported or justified by the information provided. This weakens the overall strength of the argument because the conclusions drawn may not be entirely sound or reliable due to these unwarranted assumptions. Regarding the other options: A. The argument may not necessarily follow a clear and valid logical chain. B. The argument does present a conclusion, so this is not the questionable aspect being discussed. C. While the argument may rely on expert opinion, this is not identified as the questionable aspect in this case.
