B is a very attractive answer choice if you are rushing through a timed test and you're down to the last couple of questions because of the fact that B is precisely the only one that you need to read once and understand and since you understood it you panicked and chose B.

The truth about B is that other than its easier wording, the choice is wrong because it is too specific although easy to understand, because if you didn't really understand the stimulus B can come across as accurately describing it to you in a way that leads you to believe that B is actually how the argument is flawed.

this question is not as obvious as J.Y thinks.

If you chose answer choice A it is because it is the LESS obvious assumption being made and since D seemed too obvious I chose A instead. Stupid Jedi mind tricks making me think the right answer was WRONG. A was already incorporated in the premise when they said "these are still adult teeth even though they are 25% smaller" which already indirectly states that not all animals have uniform features which is why A is wrong. D is correct because no where in the passage did it directly or indirectly state that teeth size is proportional to body size--which is something that needed to be clearly stated as a "forgotten premise"

If you negate answer choice D, then it would say " No kids incorrectly identified as autistic will be adversely affected by treatments aimed at helping autistic children." This does not destroy the argument.

But if you negate answer choice B, "No diagnostic test that sometimes falsely gives a positive diagnosis cannot still provide a reasonable basis for treatment decisions." It would destroy the argument because one of the premises clearly say that EVEN THOUGH THE TEST SOMETIMES IS WRONG IT STILL WORKS FOOL.
