PT105 S1 Q21 - Two Doctrines

I need help understanding why the correct answer choice (A) is correct for this question. I understand that all the other answer choices are terrible (leaving A as the only answer choice), but I still feel like A is too strongly stated to be a necessary assumption for the argument.

In my thinking, a necessary assumption for the argument is that the econ explanation and psychological explanation are mutually exclusive from each other. Answer choice A seems to go way beyond this and say that the econ explanation is excludes all other explanations (not just the psychological one).

What's wrong with my thought process? Thanks!

Something I'll swear by is breaking down every question presented to you in the core curriculum. For every question in a lesson or "you try", I wrote down why I thought the correct answer was correct, why the incorrect answers were incorrect, and the "cookie cutter" traps that were presented in the problem. Then I'd cross check my reasoning with JY's to make sure I was getting at the right answer for the right reason.

This makes the CC way more time consuming, but in my opinion, it's time well spent. It's one of the easiest ways to convert time spent studying into points. When you get to taking PTs you'll have the fundamentals down.
