confused how the statement qualifies as conceding a point.
concede:
(1) admit that something is true or valid after first denying or resisting it:
(2) surrender or yield (something that one possesses):

The argument is predicated on the fact that adults and adolescents are different - so how does the statement in question qualify as a concession?
Unless they are using the word concede as a synonym for "acknowledge".
IMO poor word choice.

Premise: Admittedly, adolescents and adults are not the same. But to the extent that adolescents and adults are different, adults cannot be expected to represent the interests of adolescents. If adults cannot represent the interests of adolescents, then only by giving adolescents the vote will these interests represented. - The author agrees that adults and adolescents are different, however, argues that this difference should not be the basis of adults representing the interests of adolescents. Further, he/she cements his/her argument by saying that because adults can't represent the interests of adolescents and to represent adolescents, adolescents must be given voting rights.

Conclusion: Adults have the right to vote; so should adolescents. - Just like the adults, adolescents must give vote. Only then adolescents interests are represented.

Only C and E make up to the point of being the contenders. Others are rejected for the highlighted text.
'Consequence' and conclusion both come after something has happened, only that consequence happens naturally - if i say. In C, 'a consequence' seems to suggest that because of adolescents' interests, adults and adolescents are different. And that's too vague of an answer to choose.
The statement is ultimately supporting the conclusion of the argument, it's just that it is laying foundation of that support.

BTW did i use the idiom 'because of' correctly. Let me know.

Although i get the point that Option E captures the essence of what the Phrase is, I was unable to Eliminate option C on solid grounds. Please help me understand this better.
