It is characteristic of great artists generally, and of great writers in particular, to have a discerning view of the basic social and political arrangements of the society in which they live. Therefore, the greater a writer one is, the more astute one will be in perceiving the basic social and political arrangements of one's society.

Question: Which one of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the reasoning above?
Options:

B. It assumes, without providing justification, that because something is sometimes the case it must always be the case.
C. It assumes, without providing justification, that those artists with political insight do not have insight into matters outside of politics.
D. It assumes, without providing justification, that only great individuals can make discerning criticisms of their societies.
