c) Authority or expertise does not make the claims of an authority or expert true.

Explanation:

It is true as the authority of any business aims to have maximum sales, for this some management works on quality of product and some management is ready to put false statements in order to increase sales and revenue.

Therefore, it is necessary to do critical thinking and no user shall violate the basic rule of critical thinking of knowing all the facts, since here it is clear that these cars lead the country to accidents due to faulty equipment.

Thus, this is the basic rule that not all the authorized statement is correct.
