单选题 Which of the following criticisms is often made of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis?

A、 It has no empirical evidence in its favor.
B、 It is formulated on the basis of only one case study.
C、 Its applicability has been greatly exaggerated.
D、 No convincing examples can be found to support its claim.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】第四段第一句明确指出“It is commonly believed that…all situations is questioned．”，也就是说人们普遍认为Sapir-Whorf假设具有一定的真实性，但对该学说能否适用于所有情况提出了质疑，后半句实际上暗指有人对该假设的用途过分夸大提出了批评。所以选C。
