A. increase the size of the record-buying public.
Out of scope
B. increase the profits of the record industry.
Out of scope. We have no idea about that
C. drive the 78 rpm record from the second-hand market.
Out of context. We have no such information
D. make the manufacture of phonographs that play 33 rpm records unnecessary.
Makes sense. Hold it. Since 33rpm records are replaced phonographs playing them won’t be required
E. encourage the growth of computer-generated music.
Out of scope. We have no idea about this too. Outside information howsoever obvious it may be does not hold in the CT world
Hence, IMO D is the answer

Isnt Option D very straight forwardly puts its point, in other words its hard worded- saying that the manufacturing of phonographs is unnecessary considers huge leap in focus. For all we know they may still be required by people who like to listen the music in it only.
