The presence of bees is necessary for excellent pollination, which, in turn, usually results in abundant fruits and vegetables. Establishing a beehive or two near one's garden ensures the presence of bees. Keeping bees is economical, however, only if the gardener has a use for homegrown honey. Thus, gardeners who have no use for homegrown honey will tend not to have beehives, so their gardens will fail to have excellent pollination.

Which one of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the reasoning of the argument?

The argument fails to consider the possibility that obtaining homegrown honey is only one of several advantages of beehives.

The argument confuses what is necessary for pollination to take place with what would guarantee that it takes place.

The argument confuses what is necessary for an abundance of fruits and vegetables with what is usually conducive to it.

The argument fails to consider that bees might be present even in the absence of a particular condition that would ensure their presence.

The argument bases a claim that there is a causal connection between beehives and excellent pollination on a mere association between them.
