I am just so confused about the answer choices provided and why A is the correct answer. Nowhere did the paragraph say that it is premature to talk about the critics' concerns.

The wording got the best of me...
Picked E because I equated "susceptibility" to "not being able to prevent" and was struggling to pick between E and B :/
Here is what I realized after thinking about this for a very long time: we need to forget about whether they consciously inhibit the emotion or unconsciously. It is the same with the answer choices. Therefore, when A talks about the nonrepressors, it applies to both the repressors and the nonrepressors, because it does not matter whether they consciously did it or not (which is the characteristic that divides them in the first place.)
To simplify, the two groups don't matter, and it doesnt matter whether AC A would mention repressors or non-repressors. There is simply a gap which we need to defend.
A "side effect" of blind reviews that I did not consider: I start doubting my gut feeling and prior knowledge when reviewing my answers. I picked the right answer for this question during the quiz, but ended up doubting myself when doing the blind review. I hope this goes away.
