I think it's D. I'll try to explain.
Farley Mowat says that even though he is not a novelist, he is a writer.
The author of the argument, says the same thing. Farley doesn't need to be a novelist to be a writer. Hence, D.

Only B & D are close.........would go with D....since, the last sentence reiterates the fact that one does not need to be a novelist to be a writer...!!
