An argument suggests that "Building a new recreational center will significantly improve community health because increased access to facilities always leads to higher participation in physical activities." What is the most significant unstated assumption in this argument?

A The current recreational facilities are inadequate.
B Community members are currently interested in improving their health.
C The new center will be affordable and accessible to all community members.
D Increased access *alone* guarantees higher participation and subsequent health improvement.

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

The argument assumes a direct causal link: access automatically equals participation and health benefits. It fails to consider other barriers like time, cost, or interest, which might prevent access from translating into actual use and outcomes.
