A. If the users do engage in regular physical exercise, then this becomes an alternate reason for weight loss. If they don't then this eliminates an alternate explanation. Keep.
B. If other apps have similar results, we can say that there is something about these apps that is affective. But if they don't show similar results we cannot say that that this app in question is not effective.
C. Effectiveness of this app is not related to whether users have tried other methods.
D. We are concerned about the effectiveness of the reminder system only. Its relative effectiveness with respect to the is irrelevant to the argument.
E. THis is not relevant to the effectiveness of the reminder effectiveness.

The developer's claim is that the app's reminder system is the primary reason for customer's weight loss. The only option that brings this under question is option D : if another feature of the app is more effective, then the reminder system will not be the primary reason anymore.

In this question stem,
Developers claim is that the app’s reminder system is the primary reason for this weight loss success.
So, if we want to evaluate the developers' argument, we should target claim.
A. Whether users of the app also engage in regular physical exercise apart from using the app.
Doesn't matter. Even if they engage in regular exercise, we cannot accept or refute claim that reminder system is primary reason for weight loss.
Eliminate
B. Whether other similar nutritional tracking apps also show similar results in terms of user weight loss
Doesn't matter. Even if there are other apps in market, developer is only talking about their own application and how it is related.
Eliminate.
C. Whether the users had tried other diet methods before using the app and had not seen similar weight loss results
Doesn't matter. We cannot evaluate the claim that weather the app's reminder system was responsible for weight loss from this argument. Maybe they did not see results or maybe even if they did, app could be responsible right now.
Eliminate.
D. Whether the reminders from the app are more effective at altering eating habits compared to other features of the app
We could use this. If developer's claim is that app's reminder system is primary reason then evaluating weather any other app's features were also responsible for success. If they were, then claim is wrong. Select.
E. Whether users continue to lose weight or maintain weight loss after the initial six months of using the app
Doesn't matter. Not related with claim. Even if they continue to lose weight or maintain weigth loss after six months. Evaluation of this argument does not challenge developer's claim. Eliminate
