I'm a little confused about why C is incorrect, could someone explain this for me?

Hi Allen

This is a method of reasoning question, which is in the prove family. We need to find something that correctly reflects how Mary makes her argument. Answer choice (C) describes something that does not happen in the argument. Mary never claims that the decisions are made after any significant deliberation. She doesn't talk about the process of making the decisions at all. She only discusses the time between when a decision is made, and when it was subsequently reversed.

Hope that helps!
