A recent survey showed that employees who participate in company-sponsored wellness programs report higher job satisfaction than those who do not. This suggests that offering wellness programs directly leads to increased job satisfaction. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A Employees who are already satisfied with their jobs are more likely to participate in wellness programs.
B The wellness programs offered by the company are comprehensive enough to address various aspects of employee well-being.
C Factors other than wellness programs, such as salary or work-life balance, do not contribute significantly to job satisfaction.
D The survey accurately measured job satisfaction and participation in wellness programs.

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

The argument assumes a direct causal link between wellness programs and job satisfaction. If other factors significantly contribute to satisfaction, then the wellness program might not be the direct cause, undermining the conclusion. Difficulty: 3
