(A) Whether users of the app also engage in regular physical exercise apart from using the app - not relevant to reminder system
(B) Whether other similar nutritional tracking apps also show similar results in terms of user weight loss - comparing with other apps not relevant
(C) Whether the users had tried other diet methods before using the app and had not seen similar weight loss results - not relevant, still applicable irrespective of reminder system
(D) Whether the reminders from the app are more effective at altering eating habits compared to other features of the app - relevant talks about possibly other aspects of app helps other than reminder system.
(E) Whether users continue to lose weight or maintain weight loss after the initial six months of using the app - not relevant, not under argument here.

We are asked what would be important to know in order to evaluate the argument.
The argument says that the primary reason for the weight loss success is due to the reminder system of the app.
Answer is A: since if the users were engaged in physcial exercise apart from using the app, the primary reason can be different from the argument.

A new smartphone app that encourages healthy eating by tracking daily nutrient intake has reported significant user weight loss after six months of use. The developers claim that the app’s reminder system, which prompts users to record their meals and snacks, is the primary reason for this weight loss success.
Developer Argument: app’s reminder system is the primary reason for this weight loss success.
we need something which can help strength or weaken the argument
In evaluating the developers' argument, it would be most important to determine which of the following?
(A) Whether users of the app also engage in regular physical exercise apart from using the app (Slightly weaken the developers argument)
(B) Whether other similar nutritional tracking apps also show similar results in terms of user weight loss (Irrelevant)
(C) Whether the users had tried other diet methods before using the app and had not seen similar weight loss results (Irrelevant)
(D) Whether the reminders from the app are more effective at altering eating habits compared to other features of the app (If we know anwser to this question we can clearly evaluate the developer argument about the reminder being primary reason for weight loss)
(E) Whether users continue to lose weight or maintain weight loss after the initial six months of using the app (Irrelevant)
Correct anwser should be: D
