D, very easy.

The organization tries to explain that owls are only feared because they are nocturnal creatures that make noises. Crack that causality with E by providing evidence for other animals that display same characteristics but are not feared.

Clear D

Conclusion: Feared because they are nocturnal make noise.

D addresses this and proves false.

Got D on this one. Looks like this one is a pure copy-cat.
