Industrial and automobile pollution have long been thought to contribute to global warming. However, researchers have identified that the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide released into the atmosphere are not as potent as the methane emitted by cud-chewing animals such as cows when they fart or belch. Therefore, if you drive a hybrid electric car to the grocery, any favor that you would do to the environment would be offset if you end up buying beef.

Pre-thinking :
The author mentions different factors responsible for global warming, and renounces the existing belief that industrial and automobile pollution are the main factors responsible for global warming. Instead, the author states another theory that cattle belching(beef consumption contributes to global warming) has a greater impact compared to the former.
A. The author establishes a point by drawing an analogy --> No such analogy is made
B. The author disproves a popular notion by providing evidence that is contrary to it --> No evidence is provided
C. The author presents a new theory in response to an existing well-established theory --> It is not a new theory, researchers have identified it before
D. The author uses an illustration to support a new school of thought that is contrary to a popular school of thought --> Correct, matches our pre-thinking
E. The author makes a comparison between two theories by providing an example --> No comparison is made
Hence, D.

I find little difficult to agree with reasoning that it is not a new theory.
D. The author uses an illustration to support a new school of thought that is contrary to a popular school of thought
C and D close choices.
