Verry Frustrated. Do I have a learning disability?

Your doctor discovers that you have a blood pressure of 160/115. She tells you that changing your diet, adding restricted exercise, and taking medication will help reduce your blood pressure. What assumption is made by the doctor?
-
Answer:
a. That your blood pressure is normal
b. That you have been eating fatty food
c. That blood pressure of 160/115 is dangerous to your health
d. That medication will help you lose weight
-
I choose B. Because, you Dr. is assuming you eat fatty foods, based on your pressure, and illustrats that by telling you to "change you diet"
-
Right Answer: C
"How is this an assumption made by the Dr.? Doesnt he KNOW this to be true?
The way I see it choice 'C' would be an assumption on the patients part, because of the fact that the Dr. is telling him/her to chance it.
Thanks in advance.
