Another Boldface question, another opportunity for me to analyze the statements before looking at the options, thus avoiding any biases:
The analyst states that hospitals aren't adopting remote patient monitoring programs (PMPs) because, they believe it is unlikely the elderly will be able to exploit the program correctly. This is the reasoning / justification / assumption for why these hospitals act this way - the first boldface.
Then, he / she states, it is not true that PMPs are unusable / difficult to exploit, highlighting a contradiction / reasoning to weaken the hospitals' point. He then goes on to elaborate on the point, presenting evidence for why these programs are easy to exploit - this is the second boldface.
Keeping this pre-thinking in mind, we can look at all the options
Option A: Based on the pre-thinking, it is easy to tell that this is the reasoning why hospitals believe - or, rather, conclude - PMPs won't be successful, and it is also true that the analyst is attempting to refute this; however, the second part isn't a premise at all - it can be considered a conclusion / justification. Hence, eliminate.
Option B: Same reason as A to accept Boldface 1. However, the second boldface is more aptly assessed in this option, as it does indeed present the analyst's conclusion that attempts to refute what the hospitals are saying. This is correct.
Option C: The first is not a premise - it is the conclusion directly. So we can easily reject this reasoning.
Option D: Once again, it is not the conclusion. Eliminate.
Option E: Yet again, not a conclusion. Eliminate.
