The assumption and conclusion seem to be same. IMO answer should be A.

This question seems to be flawed. Could you explain (with a numerical example) why you feel that A is an assumption?

I agree with you. This question is Flawed and as far as A is concerned, it is going against the stated premise that even though only 8% of the drivers hold yearly permits they represent 15% of all cars entering the park.

Choice D just repeats the conclusion. How can you assume what you set out to prove? None of the other answer choices make any sense either. Source please?

I was able to get answer choices down to C and D. I did end up choosing the correct answer, but would like some clarification as to why C is incorrect.

Can someone please help me out with this?

Thanks in advance :)

This question is flawed. Option D cannot be an assumption because it is the main conclusion of the passage (even having almost the same wording).

Option C is also not a required assumption. The passage states that out of every 100 drivers 8 drivers had yearly permit. There may be other drivers who have yearly permit, but never entered the park. Whether there are any such drivers is out of the context of this argument.

I'm closing the topic by request.
I narrowed down to D as well, but I don't think this question is good for practice, as it adds no value to people who prepare for GMAT.
