(A) Many residents in countries with higher internet censorship use the internet primarily for work-related purposes, which are not affected by censorship policies.
Great, let those countries achieve greater heights but for me "many" doesn't give any definite picture of how many & how often are they using the internet. Hence A out.
(B) Residents in countries with high internet censorship often use proxy servers and VPNs, which allow them to bypass restrictions and access a broader range of content online.
Umm... This makes sense to me. The countries with high censorship may use proxy/VPN services bypassing the restrictions & hence leading to more internet usage. I'm liking this, but before concluding let's also see the other options.
(C) There is an observed trend in the data collection methodology where internet usage metrics might include both direct and indirect engagement metrics, which vary significantly between surveyed regions.
Irrelevant. Can't see anything relevant to the question asked. C out.
(D) Countries with high rates of internet censorship often have higher populations, thus naturally leading to a higher total number of internet users.
Even countries with higher populations can use less internet, right? Population can't be the only factor. For eg: Internet may be expensive there & any other links could possibly affect it. Hence D out.
(E) The survey included responses from a disproportionate number of young people, who tend to use the internet more frequently regardless of censorship levels.
Doesn't really matter. Grannies can be using the internet more than youth as they're mostly retired & at home. E out.
Hence going ahead with B.
Hope this helped.

The paradox was that in countries with higher rate of internet censorship, there is also a higher rate of internet usage per capita.
Answer C would help explain the paradox, because the measurements would introduce other variables that are affecting the results, thus leading to higher usage

Observation:
Limited internet access
more usage per capita.
definitely, people are using some bypass or proxy to access those sites. Notice the word access a broader range of content online.
Hence B
