I think the only reason why A isn't right is because 'content of conclusion' should essentially mean 'conclusion' and calling BF1 the conclusion is wrong.
BF1 sets a base sure, but I am not sure whether it provides 'support'. But again, E is the better choice and frankly, the only choice remaining.

The first boldface provides the context. There is no way to contrast words in the argument till the conclusion i.e."The answer, clearly, is yes." So the context goes in the direction of the conclusion. The 2nd boldface is clearly a support for the conclusion.
Now elimination
(A) The first identifies the content of the conclusion of the argument; the second provides support for that conclusion. The content of the conclusion is virtually the same as the conclusion - wrong.
(B) The first provides support for the conclusion of the argument; the second identifies the content of that conclusion. The content of the conclusion is virtually the same as the conclusion - wrong.
(C) The first states the position that the argument opposes; the second states the conclusion of the argument. 2nd is after since - the premise marker. Wrong to say that it states the conclusion. There is no transition word - no opposition.
(D) Each provides evidence that calls the conclusion of the argument into question. There is no transition word - no opposition.
(E) Each provides support for the conclusion of the argument. There is no transition word - no opposition. So the first boldface goes in the direction of the conclusion. 2nd is a premise. Correct option.
