Amusement rides at permanent fairgrounds are dismantled once a year for safety inspections by independent consultants. Traveling fairs, which relocate each month, can slip past the net of safety inspections and escape independent inspection for several years. Therefore, the rides at traveling fairs are less safe than the rides at permanent fairs.

Which of the following, if true about traveling fairs, most seriously weakens the argument?

(A) Before each relocation, the operators dismantle their rides, observing and repairing potential sources of danger, such as worn ball bearings.
(B) their managers have less capital to spend on the safety and upkeep of the rides than do managers of permanent fairs.
(C) Since they can travel to new customers, they rely less on keeping up a good reputation for safety.
(D) While they are traveling, the fairs do not receive notices of equipment recalls sent out by the manufacturers of their rides.
(E) The operators of the rides often do not pay careful attention to the instructions for operating their rides.
