Statement: Youngsters are often found staring at obscene posters.
Courses of Action:
- Children should be punished and penalized if they are found doing so.
- Any display of such material should be banned.

The correct answer is D, neither follows. Reaching conclusion B relies on the following assumptions, not provided in the question:
1) Youngsters staring at obscene posters is to be avoided.
2) A ban would be effective at reducing this.
3) The above consideration outweighs any negative impacts of a ban.
4) There are no alternative methods of achieving the objectives of a ban, which have fewer negative impacts.
