An argument claims that 'Customers will prefer our new, higher-priced premium product because surveys show they value quality.' What is the most significant unstated assumption the argument makes about the survey results?

A The survey respondents accurately represent the target market.
B 'Quality' in the survey context precisely aligns with the specific features of the new premium product.
C Customers who value quality are also willing to pay a higher price for it.
D Competitors do not offer products of similar quality.

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Valuing quality does not automatically translate to a willingness to pay a higher price. The argument assumes this willingness, which is a critical leap.
