First bold statement presents an idea about anti smoking warnings. Second gives us an example about the reasoning so it acts as a conclusion statement that it will further say that people don't pay heed already and such warnings are ignored by people even after knowing the effects on health. So Option C is the best option.

Health official: Increasing the frequency of anti-smoking warnings may be ineffective. Aside from annoying the majority who do not smoke, it may weaken all anti-smoking messaging by leading people to believe that such warnings are needlessly stringent. Moreover, there is nothing to suggest that those who typically disregard anti-smoking messages will pay heed when the messages occur more frequently.
The paragraph suggest for ineffectiveness of increased frequency of anti smoking warnings. It further explains that that anti smoking warnings are not only annoying non smoking people but also weaken the anti smoking messaging as it makes it more stringent. Also such messages occurring more frequently doesn't suggest that who don't pay heed to such messages will actually look into it.
The two sections in boldface play which of the following roles in the public health official’s argument? Lets analyze statements:
(A) The first is a conclusion for which support is provided, but it is not the main conclusion of the argument; the second is an unsupported premise that supports the main conclusion of the argument.
First bold face is the main conclusion of the argument. Eliminate
(B) The first is a premise that supports the argument’s only explicit conclusion; so is the second.
First is the main conclusion of the argument. Eliminate
(C) The first is the only explicit conclusion of the argument; the second is a premise that supports that conclusion.
This isn't exactly true as the second also has some conclusion in it weakens the anti smoking messaging. Eliminate
(D) The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second lends support to that conclusion and is itself a conclusion for which support is provided.
This option seems correct as the first is the main conclusion for which second provides support and it also contains conclusion which is further supported.
(E) The first is a premise that supports the only conclusion of the argument; the second is that conclusion.
First is the main conclusion of the argument. Eliminate
Correct answer is D.

The first boldface is a claim that also sets the context for the discussion in the passage. The rest of the sentences, including the second boldface, serve to support that claim. Therefore, option C is the closest to how I interpreted the argument.
