I am really struggling to see how answer choice E resolves the paradox best and not D -- E seems to be irrelevant and D does a good job of explaining the different reactions of voters.>

This is basically a weaken question with a conditional.
To weaken a conditional, you need to show that the necessary condition is not really necessary.
The conditional is basically "if the instructions were available, it would be easier to put it together than if they were not"
So a correct answer choice might do something like say "if the instructions were available, it would not necessarily be easier than without"
Answer choice C suggests that it would not necessarily be easier to assemble with the instructions than without them. Hence, it undercuts the conditional in the principle. Consider that if there is a sliding scale of difficulty, the lowest possible difficulty could probably be described as "very easy".
C would have been more obviously correct if it said "most consumers who assemble it do so as easily as conceivably possible and without ever consulting the manufacturer's instructions." Nevertheless, if you did something "as easily as conceivably possible", would you not also say that it was "very easy"?
Why doesn't C weaken the conclusion by suggesting that disease X is the cause of larger than normal IS size, and not the other way around? #help
