If a doctor gives a patient only a few options for lifestyle modification, the patient is more likely to adhere to the doctor’s advice than if the doctor gives the patient many options.
Which one of the following most accurately expresses the principle illustrated above?
(A) People are especially likely to ignore the advice they get from doctors if they are confused about that advice.
(B) People dislike calculating the best of a variety of choices unless they can see a clear difference among the benefits that would result from each choice.
(C) The tendency people have to alter their behavior varies inversely with the number of alternatives available to them for behavior modification.
(D) Most people are unlikely to follow their doctor’s advice unless they can vividly imagine the consequences of not following the advice.
(E) In getting good results, the clarity with which a doctor instructs a patient is of equal importance to the accuracy of the doctor’s diagnosis on which that instruction is based.

I think C is the right answer choice.
(A) People are especially likely to ignore the advice they get from doctors if they are confused about that advice. there is no evidence that having many options leads to confusion.
(B) People dislike calculating the best of a variety of choices unless they can see a clear difference among the benefits that would result from each choice.
(C) The tendency people have to alter their behavior varies inversely with the number of alternatives available to them for behavior modification. Bingo.. if tendency of people with increasing the options increases then they are less likely to adhere to a specific lifestyle modification and vice versa.
(D) Most people are unlikely to follow their doctor’s advice unless they can vividly imagine the consequences of not following the advice. imagining the consequences are not issue
(E) In getting good results, the clarity with which a doctor instructs a patient is of equal importance to the accuracy of the doctor’s diagnosis on which that instruction is based. clarity is not an issue
