Is GMAT Quant really a math test? Many test takers approach GMAT Quant with one of two beliefs: either “I’m not a math person, so I’ll struggle,” or “I’m good at math, so Quant should be easy.” But the GMAT often surprises both groups. - Aug 18

From my understanding
Reliable source = reasonable belief
But not all reliable sources are self-evident or grounded in observable evidence.
Since those beliefs are reasonable, we know some reasonable are non-self-evident also lack observable evidence.
Answer is E
(A) said "no observable evidence" are reasonable, but the passage said the opposite. (Incorrect).
(B) is the opposite. Incorrect.
(C) Reverse conclusion/evidence. Incorrect.
(D) The if statement shows a universal claim. Incorrect.
(E) Correct! Matches both the inferences.

If a belief is based on information from a reliable source, then it is reasonable to maintain that belief. Furthermore, some beliefs are based on information from a reliable source and yet are neither self-evident nor grounded in observable evidence.
If all the statements above are true, which one of the following statements must be true?
The passage says any belief based on a reliable source is reasonable. It also says some reliable-source beliefs are neither self-evident nor based on observable evidence. So those beliefs must be reasonable, not self-evident, and not grounded in observable evidence.
(A) Beliefs for which a person does not have observable evidence are unreasonable.
This is the opposite of what the passage allows. Some beliefs without observable evidence are based on reliable sources, and therefore are reasonable.
(B) Beliefs based on information from a reliable source are self-evident.
This is false according to the passage. Some reliable-source beliefs are not self-evident.
(C) All reasonable beliefs for which a person has no observable evidence are based on information from a reliable source.
This is too strong. The passage says reliable-source beliefs are reasonable, but it does not say all reasonable beliefs without observable evidence come from reliable sources.
(D) If a belief is not grounded in observable evidence, then it is not self-evident either.
This is too broad. The passage says some beliefs have both traits, but it does not say every belief without observable evidence is also not self-evident.
(E) Among reasonable beliefs that are not self-evident, there are some beliefs that are not grounded in observable evidence.
This is correct. The passage guarantees that some beliefs are based on reliable sources, not self-evident, and not grounded in observable evidence. Since reliable-source beliefs are reasonable, these are reasonable beliefs that are not self-evident and not grounded in observable evidence.
