Hi Tajadas,
Answer choice (C) does not need to distinguish between trial and appellate judges for it to be the correct answer choice. You are right in the Passage A focuses more about trial courts, whereas Passage B is more concerned with appellate courts.
(C) is correct because, as the first author claims, independent research "supplements, rather than replaces" (lines 27-28) evidence from opposing parties. The second author claims using independent researcher is bad because appellate courts would "substitute its own questionable research results for evidence that should have been tested in trial court" (lines 57-59). Both authors want to ensure independent research does not replace the elements of a trial, whether that is in trial court or appellate court.
Hope that helps,
Eveline
