Seven months ago, Ian's photos took up 6% of his computer memory. Today, they take up only 4%. Therefore, Ian must have deleted some photos.
Which of the following most accurately identifies a flaw in the argument's reasoning?
- It overlooks that a growing total storage capacity could shrink the photos' share even if no photos were removed.
- It mistakes a drop in the number of photos for a decline in the resolution of those photos.
- It generalizes about Ian's whole library from an unrepresentative slice of his files.
- It assumes that Ian now uses his computer more often than he did seven months ago.
- It treats a mere drop in the percentage as conclusive proof that Ian permanently destroyed every deleted file.
