Which one of the following, if assumed allows the argument's conslusion to be properly drawn?

Newspaper editor: Law enforcement experts, as well as most citizens, have finally come to recognize that legal prohibitions against gambling all share a common flaw: no matter how diligent the effort, the laws are impossible to enforce. Ethical qualms notwithstanding, when a law fails to be effective it should not be a law. That is why there should be no legal prohibition against gambling.





(A) No effective law is enforceable.





(B) All enforceable laws are effective.





(C) No legal prohibitioins against gambling are enforceable.





(D) Most citizens must agree with a law for the law to be effective.





(E) Most citizens must agree with a law for the law to be enforceable

Which one of the following, if assumed allows the argument's conslusion to be properly drawn?
This sort of logic sometimes escapes me, but I would say D, almost by the process of elimination.
