Armstrong: For the treatment of a particular disease, Dr. Sullivan argues for using nutritional supplements rather than the pharmaceuticals that most doctors prescribe. But this is in his self-interest since he is paid to endorse a line of nutritional supplements. Thus, we should not use nutritional supplements in treating the disease.

A: relies solely on an appeal to an authority whose trustworthiness should not necessarily be taken for granted
B: appeals to people's emotions regarding the treatment of disease rather than to the efficacy of the two approaches to treatment
C: criticizes Dr. Sullivan's motives for holding a position rather than addressing the position itself
D: fails to justify its presumption that nutritional supplements cannot be used in conjunction with other treatments
