Hi JA,
It sounds like you brought in outside knowledge that limiting genetic diversity is bad, assuming that it alone can cause health problems. However, we don't know that; it is a new element brought into the conclusion that doesn't necessarily tie together with the premises that bee populations are more susceptible to the problems listed. Instead, that link is an implicit one, making it an assumption (specifically a supporter assumption) that we have to articulate as the correct answer choice. Here, it's simple to prephrase: inbreeding or limiting genetic diversity leads to greater susceptibility to the problems listed in the first sentence of the stimulus.
Answer choice (E) fits perfectly with that prephrase, and is the correct answer.
Hope this helps!
