Read the following paragraph from an essay against banning dog breeds: For one thing, there is no such breed as a pit bull. The American Kennel Club does not recognize or register pit bulls. The ASPCA (2011) says a dozen or more different breeds are often lumped under the label, and each has its own disposition and characteristics. Because there isn’t a true pit bull breed, the statistics that ban advocates use cannot be trusted. While government records do list pit bulls as the biggest single cause of fatal dog attacks, the same study calls its own figures unreliable because people tend to call any large dog with a big head and short coat a pit bull (Sacks, Sinclair, and Gilchrist, 2015).

This paragraph provides evidentiary support for which of the arguments below?

A) There is no clear proof that pit bulls are inherently dangerous.
B) Banning pit bulls will not reduce dog attacks on humans.
C) Organizations familiar with dogs and dog behavior oppose bans on specific breeds.
D) Statistics are unreliable.
