Can someone please explain why D is superior to A? I chose D, but feel like A is also right, since it pretty much says it in the passage (lines 21-22: ...that is the engine of biological history..."). Thanks.

Hello,

Answer A, "identify one of the driving forces of biological history", is not true, because that is just what some biologists think; it may not be true in real life. Answer D is right because the "struggle" is merely one example of how determinist biologists might think.
