the shortlists are A and B.

C refers to 'no one' - this is extreme
D and E are out of scope - introduces new intent

I think I will go with B - a more direct paraphrase of the passage compared to A.

I'll go with A

The main point is outlined in the first sentence of the passage: no research can demonstrate that those who don't like growing old hate elderly people

A for me.

other choices are narrow and just pitch on one rule 'being old is bad'.

I am going ahead with B.

A is very specific to the first sentence and the last sentence of the paragraph and does not cover in between lines. E is another contender but goes out of scope with the word "unreasonable".

Thus, only B covers the whole stuff reasonably.

I'll go with A.

It's the best summary of the whole passage.

I pick A
The first line is asking the reader to come up with some proof that people who spend time plucking their grey hair have more neg. att. towards elderly people. The second sentence says that there is in fact no such connection unless someone overgeneralizes. The first two sentences are crucial in selecting A and summarize the whole idea of why it cannot be assumed that there is no correlation between the one's dislike of some concomitants of aging and one's negative attitude vis-a-vis older people.
