Complete Question Explanation

Answer choice (C): Lee does not offer an analogous case. He merely points out a problem with Kim’s explanation.

Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer choice. Lee points out that Kim’s explanation is unlikely since it is based on the questionable assumption that people were aware that their life expectancy had increased.

Answer choice (E): Lee does not point out that Kim’s explanation is based on contradictory hypotheses, but rather a questionable assumption.
