I also agree that option (E) is more suitable for this.

Option [E] is more suitable to the situation, assumption 2 will make sure this is not repeated in future which makes it complimentary to assumption 1 not mutually exclusive. I think its ambiguous at best, if not certain.

I think there can be possibility of occurrence of assumption 2.
