For this question I was between choice A and D, and ultimately went with D even though I was not entirely confident. Can someone please explain why D is not the correct answer, and why A is? #Help

This was really helpful @jzachry9385 Johann-1 M. Thank you!
Well... I've never posted a response to one of these before so keeping my fingers crossed this helps out.
Most seriously weakens the argument.
D) Their accuracy is an important factor affecting
the profitability of the investment companies.
This answer is strengthening the argument; not weakening it. If they are wrong, at a minimum their salaries are effected; at worse their jobs are gone because bankruptcy and the like:( As the conclusion states
the investment companies' economists
are risking their jobs
when they make forecasts
A) - Their content is likely to be dictated as much
by the interests of the economist's employer
as by an objective assessment of the economy
This detaches them from the conclusion which states *the investment
companies' economists are risking their jobs when they
make forecasts. With answer choice A they could be taking little--maybe no risk-- when they predict a strong economic recovery.
I hope this helps
