What causes the periods of strong and widespread stormy weather that Earth sometimes suffers? This answer is sunspots. Periodically, the sun develops relatively cool dark areas known as sunspots. Scientists have found that periods of high sunspot activity coincide with the stormy periods on Earth. Which of the following is the best statement of the flaw in the argument above?
A.
It disputes the fact that storms are the result of low-pressure systems in the Earth's atmosphere.
B.
It ignores the influence of periods of low sunspot activity on Earth's weather systems.
C.
It assumes that because two events coincide, one is the cause of the other.
D.
It overlooks the fact that there is always a storm somewhere on Earth.
E.
It ignores the fact that there are stormy periods in some areas but not in others while there is sunspot activity.
