The author concludes that car insurance premiums should increase as one drives more frequently. As support, she says that the chance of being involved in an accident increases in proportion to the number of times they drive.

The author assumes that people who drive more frequently drive with a comparable amount of skill or safety to those who drive less frequently.

The location of accidents (whether they occur on small roads or on highways) is not relevant to the argument. The argument does not distinguish between different types of accidents; the argument is about accidents generally.

(B) tells us that those who drive infrequently drive less safely than those who drive frequently. This means that the claim that those who drive more frequently should have higher premiums has less support.

This gives us a reason to believe that people who drive infrequently may be safer drivers than those who drive frequently. This does not weaken the argument (and may marginally strengthen it).

We have no information that compares the safety of longer trips with that of shorter trips, so this is outside the scope of the argument.

Distracted driving poses a risk, so (E) gives a reason why frequent drivers may drive less safely than infrequent drivers, so this marginally strengthens the argument.
