Hey catatom! You said:
so we can't say that false memories are an inevitable result of recalling events under hypnosis
That's exactly right! (C) is way too strong. It says that anyone who recalls events under hypnosis will inevitably result in false memories. But we don't know that that's true of everyone from our stimulus; it's possible that it's only true of the second group. We don't have enough explicit support for the idea that everyone under hypnosis has false memories. So (C) doesn't have much support from our stimulus.

As a general rule, we want to be extremely wary of strongly worded answer choices on Must be True questions.

Hope that helps!
