The most likely answer is D. Frozen produce, unlike fresh, is picked at its peak and thus contains a richer nutritional profile.

This is because freezing locks in the nutrients at their peak level, whereas fresh produce can lose some of its nutritional value during transportation and storage. Therefore, frozen produce can sometimes be a better option nutritionally.

 So what? Why would a nutritionist care about this?
B. The cost of shipping frozen fruits and vegetables is generally lower than shipping them fresh. So what? Why would a nutritionist care about this?
C. Cold storage technology has increased the storage life of apples to almost a year. So what? Why would a nutritionist care about this?
E. Nutritionists' advice tends to be distorted and reframed by the media. This can be the answer, but how do you know that the information you are getting is from media or from the nutritionist himself?

Crossing the four options, we are left with only one option - D.
Remember you don't have to find the right answer. You have to find the best answer.

This is a CR Butler Question

    OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

    This question asks that we identify the relevant evidence that will help us explain the nutritionists' recommendations. Let's consider the possible answers.

    Choices (A) is not even related to frozen food at all, so it is incorrect.

    Choices (B), and (C) are related to frozen food but do not explain the nutritionists' recommendations. They can can be discarded.

    Choice (D) looks good, but let's set that aside for now and examine (E), as well.

    Choice (E) might be tempting because it's obviously related to nutritionists, but the question asks us to explain their recommendations, not the ways in which the public or the media react to them. Choice (D) is the best answer. Nutritionists explain why some things are good for us, and this is the only option that describes why frozen goods are sometimes better for us than fresh ones.

    The correct answer is Choice (D)­
