People's intentions cannot be, on the whole, more bad than good. Were we to believe otherwise, we would inevitably cease to trust each other, and no society can survive without mutual trust among its members.

The argument is most vulnerable to which one of the following critisms?

A. It fails to rule out the possibility that a true belief can have deleterious consequences.

B. It mistakenly assumes that if two claims cannot at the same time both be true, then they can not at the same time both be false.

C. It challenges the truth of a claim merely by calling into question the motives of those who profess that they believe it to be true.

D. It assumes without warrant that in any situation with two possible outcomes, the most negative one will inevitably occur.

E. It provides no reason to believe that a satement that is true of a given group of individuals is also true of any other group of individuals.
