Premise: high protien diet leads to more weight loss
Premise: older adults struggle with weight loss
Paradox: success rates are same for young and old
lets look at the statements:
A: explanation of premise, not resolves paradox
B: in that case success rate should be different
C: Correct answer. it shows that since older people have struggled with weight loss, they will adhere to the diet whereas young people may not adhere to it as they have never struggled in the first place. So the success rates can be same as older adults are adhering to the diet plan and young people are not adhering to the diet plan properly.
D: marketing has no role here. both sets of persons have already taken the plan
E: if they do not consider age, then same diet on different aged people should have different results and not the same result. it does not solve the paradox

Paradox : the weight loss success rates for both young adults and older adults on this new diet are nearly identical
This means older adults are putting in more efforts or are following the diet plan more seriously than younger adults are. Hence, we have to find an option that's inline with this pre-thinking.
(A) Older adults generally have slower metabolisms and hence find it more difficult to lose weight regardless of diet plan.
The reason that older adults generally struggle with weight loss is irrelevant to resolving the paradox. Hence, eliminate A.
(B) Younger adults tend to be more physically active, which can enhance the effectiveness of any diet plan.
Same as A. The information is not relevant to resolving the paradox. This information infact deepens the paradox.
(C) Individuals who feel they have struggled significantly with weight for many years are more likely to adhere strictly to new diet recommendations.
This option gives us a reason to understand why older people, despite the fact they struggle with weight loss, had similar success rates as that of young adults. They were more serious in adhering to the diet. We can keep C.
(D) The new high-protein diet plan was primarily marketed towards individuals who have not previously tried structured dieting.
The information is not relevant to resolving the paradox. Eliminate D.
(E) Most diet plans do not consider age-related metabolic changes when calculating recommended food intakes.
Same as A. The information is not relevant to resolving the paradox. This information infact deepens the paradox.
Option C

(D) Does not explain why older adults are experiencing weight loss
(E) Does not address why the new diet works equally well for older adults
