We could break down the structure of the argument like this: 1) Claim (data given in report) 2) If claim is true -> successful program 3) Person X says program couldn't be successful Conclusion) Claim not true and data given is inaccurate.
While E matches this nearly perfectly, C is missing the second step, or the conditional statement. E has this conditional statement when it says if Adams competed then Lee couldn't win. C only has a claim, and a person who says the claim couldn't be true, so therefore the claim is false.
