Reasons to do X =/= does X
Answer choices (D) matches this anticipation.
(A) we don't need to know EXACTLY what the reasons are or what the strongest reasons are.
(B) argument isn't as extreme as to assume "CANNOT EVER"
(C) argument doesn't have to do this since it says "IF the average age... continues to rise"
(E) argument doesn't have to do this. it's just how the argument happened to calculate, but the author doesn't assume it's the best way or even better way than anything else.
