PT1.S3.Q9 - Fines levied against those responsible (weaken)

How does AC A weaken this? I chose AC D but I didn’t get the relevance of A/couldn’t translate what it was saying.
Admin Note: Edited the title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of question"

The conclusion says companies that might have these accidents will now install adequate safeguards. Answer A weakens because if businesses underestimate their accident risk, then they have less reason to install adequate safeguards. A business may really suck at predicting their future accident risk. Then have a bunch of accidents which result in fines.
I don't think answer D strenghthens nor weakens the argument. D confirms that businesses recognize fines affect their profits. Fines are an ordinary business expense.
ty! that makes a lot of sense
