Answer:
C. The sale of cigarettes should be illegal
Explanation:
All the other statements in Denise’s arguments only provide the premise for which the sale of cigarettes is illegal. They only give reasons and evidences to corroborate the fact that the sale of cigarettes is illegal. The use of indicators such as “noting that”, “furthermore”, etc. also explains why the other statements in the argument are premises and not conclusion.
The statement, “The sales of cigarettes should be illegal”, is the only one that identifies the crux of Denise’s argument.
