the answer should be D
this is an causal argument in which conclusion states that( being sick physically contributes to being sick mentally) so we can say x causes Y but the vise-versa is not true , the pre thinking assumption could be 1. that y does not causes X.
A. this is totally o/s and also the word rarely is extreme . not correct
B. here the effects of both the illness are the same which can not be true and also if the effects are the same the the vise-versa must be true . not correct
C. o/s we are not told about the serious ailments. not correct.
D. after negating we can cay that vise-versa is not true which matches to out assumption. CORRECT.
E. o/s also we are not concerned about the treatment.
hope that makes sense
thanks.
