Is answer C the correct answer because it is specifically targeting the premise "Medication A has no known sleep-inducing properties"? If this is the case, when we do weaken questions, should we just look for answers that directly contradict the premises?
Also, why would B be wrong? It is because it's just not strong enough?
Thank you.

Hi, while a weakener can weaken a premise, C doesn't actually do this. Rather, it is an alternative way that the medication, despite not causing sleep, can help the patient sleep. Here it is an indirect cause, it helps the patient sleep by removing a barrier to sleep.
B would be wrong because it doesn't really tell us anything. The argument is grounded in the present, any potential future changes are completely irrelevant to whether the doctor did or did not violate a policy as written.
