To hold criminals responsible for their crimes involves a failure to recognize that criminal actions, like all actions, are ultimately products of the environment that forged the agent' s character. It is not criminals but people in the law-abiding majority who by their actions do most to create and maintain this environment. Ttherefore, it is law-abiding people whose actions, and nothing else, make them alone truly responsible for crime. The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that
A: the way it distinguishes criminal from crimes implicitly denies that someone becomes a criminal solely in virtue of having committed a crime
B: it exploits an ambiguity in the term "environment"by treating two different meanings of the word as though they were equivalent
C: it fails to distinguish between actions that are socially acceptable and actions that are socially unacceptable
D: its conclusion contradicts an implicit principle on which an earlier part of the argument is based
