Why Not B?

Hi, thanks for your post. This is a Bizarro Strengthen question, which means that four of the given answer choices strengthen the argument presented in the stimulus, and one - the correct answer - does not. The argument in the stimulus concludes that the odds of arrest and conviction for computer-based crimes favor the criminal. Each of the four incorrect answer choice strengthen this claim in some way. The one correct answer choice does not strengthen this claim. Answer choice (B) does strengthen this claim, because it states that in most police departments, officers' assignment rotations happen more quickly than the amount of time needed for an investigator to become proficient in computer crimes. In other words, in most police department, officers do not have enough time on "computer crime" assignment to get good at investigating computer crimes. If this is true, then it supports the claim in the stimulus that the odds favor the criminal (i.e., that a computer criminal is unlikely to be arrested and convicted). Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Hello, For this question, I chose answer choice B. I understand why this answer choice strengthens the passage, but am struggling to understand why D is the correct answer. Please explain? Thanks!

D is the correct answer because it doesn't strengthen. D is about sentencing, not arrests or convictions, like the stimulus.
