    Just focus on the last sentence and you should be able to get to answer D pretty easily...

    At first I was thinking the answer would bank of the "most" overlap in the first sense and thus checked answer C... (given you can only infer "some" from a "most" and "most" overlap) but this wrongly links the last sentence to the items dicussed before the "however"

    Thus, the correct answer has to deal with the last sentence, staring with however... you can easily diagram this.

    tropical fish + (NOT) exotic birds --> gerbils

    independently owned pet store --> (NOT) sell gerbils

    By linking the two above, you can get:

    independently owned pet store --> (NOT) sell gerbils --> (NOT) tropical fish / exotic birds

    The paraphrase of the chain above is answer D!

    "but" in this case functions as an "and"

    Hope this helps!
