The author argues that parents shouldn’t necessarily follow the advice of experts about raising their kids, because they can see which methods are effective on their own children. The broad principle is that people shouldn’t necessarily follow general expert advice when they have more knowledge about the specific case where that advice would be applied.

The argument isn’t talking at all about good parenting or bad parenting. It’s talking about when to use general expert advice.

This might be right if it said “you can ignore experts if those experts don’t know about the specific car you want to buy”. The argument in the stimulus isn’t saying that we shouldn’t listen to experts because they don’t care, but because they don’t know the specific situation.

(C) says that climbers shouldn’t necessarily follow general expert advice when the climbers have better information about the specific case where the advice would be applied. This matches the argument in the stimulus.

(D) says that a normal person will know less than experts. This doesn’t match the argument, which is setting out a case where normal people might know better than the general experts.

We can rule (E) out because (E) doesn’t talk about when to take expert advice. And the argument is saying parents should sometimes follow their own intuition because they have unique knowledge, not because “their conscience speaks with a single voice”.
