While many people think of the lottery as a harmless way to have fun and possibly win some money, buying lottery tickets is a form of gambling. Therefore, public officials shouldn’t buy lottery tickets.
The argument above relies upon which of the following assumptions?
(A) Individuals who play the lottery are less likely to win a big payout than they are to be killed in a car crash.
(B) Some public officials are guilty of much more serious offenses than gambling.
(C) Public officials shouldn’t gamble.
(D) Many public officials are easily tempted to violate rules governing their positions.
(E) Most lottery winners are not made as happy by their winnings as they expected.

In the paragraph, it is mentioned "buying lottery tickets is a form of gambling. Therefore, public officials shouldn’t buy lottery tickets."
So public officials should not buy lottery tickets as buying tickets of lottery is gambling, which is mentioned in one of the options.
