An author discusses research on bilingualism enhancing cognitive flexibility. Which counterpoint would most weaken this argument?

A) Bilingualism is common worldwide
B) Studies showing the effect may be due to confounding variables like socioeconomic status
C) Some bilingual people are also trilingual
D) Not everyone wants to learn a language
