Must Be True. The correct answer choice is (D)
This stimulus provides a fact set with no real conclusion, although we might have some reaction to the information presented. The referenced program is intended to increase the region’s forested land. In the one example discussed, however, the program led to a net decrease in forested land. Thus, we might react by drawing from the example the idea that the program in some cases can have counterproductive results. This is precisely what answer choice (D) explains.
Answer choice (A): This answer is far too broad to be justified by the stimulus. There is no way to assess whether the program has completely failed to encourage reforestation; all we can draw from the stimulus is that there was at least one case with counterproductive results.
Answer choices (B), (C), and (E): These answers are also unsupported, as there is no way to know whether the program will have any immediate effect, if there will be any net effect, or if there will ultimately be a “massive decrease” based on the limited information in the stimulus.
Answer choice (D): As explained above, this is the correct answer choice.
