Hi kristina,
First, just for clarity, the correct answer (which you cited) is actually Answer D rather than E.
In Answer D, the "characteristics that it focuses on" refer to how the Internet transmits information "like the neurons that form the human brain" and how both the Internet and developing human brains are "growing at millions of points." Due to these shared characteristics, the argument concludes that the Internet will someday achieve humanlike intelligence.
It's not that a developing human brain itself doesn’t necessarily lead to intelligence. It's that those specific shared characteristics in and of themselves don't necessarily lead to intelligence.
The problem is that these characteristics may not be sufficient to develop humanlike intelligence. They may simply be two of many characteristics in the human brain that lead to humanlike intelligence. For example, based on that line of reasoning, one could argue that the human brain is made of cells, so anything that is also made of cells will eventually develop humanlike intelligence, which obviously is flawed.
