Why does the answer make sense?

I don't understand what the answer choice has to do with the underlying "assumption" that the argument takes. Is this question miswritten (is it supposed to be a "what would make this argument stronger" question?)

    The entire argument is predicated on the idea that the banks pay the insurance, rather than depositors. The author must therefore assume C is true: if banks did pass this cost on to depositors, then individuals would be bearing the cost of insurance, which undermines a key premise of the authors argument.
