(C said): As girls are also known to prefer styles of working that are non-confrontational adn non-competitive, (B concluded): it seems highly plausible that the causes of girls' underachievement at the highest math GCSE level are linked with features of the top set environment (confrontational and competitive)." Would you please help spot the problems or logical fallacies of the following argument:

“(A reported): that high ability girls are the most likely students to exhibit ‘maladaptive’ tendencies which disadvantage their learning, (B added) tendencies which seem to be encouraged by a highly pressured and competitive environment.

(C said): As girls are also known to prefer styles of working that are non-confrontational adn non-competitive, (B concluded): it seems highly plausible that the causes of girls’ underachievement at the highest math GCSE level are linked with features of the top set environment (confrontational and competitive).”
