The author concludes that museums should not display the rare stamp, because this would damage it.

There is a clear gap in the argument between potential damage to the stamp and the decision to display it. We want to phrase this gap as a conditional statement, so we are able to form a strong prediction:

If the stamp would be damaged, it should not be displayed.

The conclusion is about whether museums should display objects that will become damaged, not how the public should judge these museums.

The conclusion is about whether museums should display objects that will become damaged, not how these objects should be displayed. In any case, we have no information on how the stamp would be displayed, only that it would be damaged.

(C) has both the wrong trigger and the wrong conclusion. We want to prove that the museum shouldn’t display the stamp, not that red ink shouldn’t be used on it. The argument also implies the stamp will be exposed to UV light, not that it won’t.

We know that displaying the stamp would cause damage. (D) tells us that this means it should not be displayed, which proves the conclusion.

If anything (E) might hurt the argument. If museums should educate the public, then perhaps the stamp should be displayed for educational purposes.
