The reasoning exhibited by John includes the unsaid assumption - because Alma is the biggest maker of imports, Harry must be buying an imported car and is not sticking to his principle. Harry contradicts it by showing that the car he is buying is not imported so he is sticking to the principle. He does contradict John's reasoning.
He does not contradict John's premise that Alma is the biggest maker of imports, but he does contradict John's reasoning.

When I Wanted to answer this question I was very hesitant between B and D and I was strongly thinking of D but now that I GET IT here is why it is not D:
(A) disown the principle he formerly held No This is only true if he said no longer support unions.
(B) show that John's argument involves a false unstated assumption ASSUMPTION MAKES SENS
(C) contradict John's conclusion without challenging John's reasoning in drawing that conclusion Indeed he does contradict John on the conclusion but he is challenging him as well on something that he is saying which is the assumption of the car being imported
(D) point out that one of the statements John makes in support of his argument is false TRAP nothing that actually John said or stated is false What is false is an assumption ...
(E) claim that his is a special case in which the rule need not apply OBVIOUSLY NO
(A) disown the principle he formerly held No This is only true if he said no longer support unions.

John: You told me once that no United States citizen who supports union labor should buy an imported car. Yet you are buying an Alma. Since Alma is one of the biggest makers of imports, I infer that you no longer support unions.- John is saying to Harry that you are not following your principles, since you stated that if you are a US citizen and support union Labor, then you should not buy an imported car. But now you are buying an Alma, which is the biggest maker of imported cars, and with this, I can say that you no longer support unions
Harry: I still support labor unions. Even though Alma is a foreign car company, the car I am buying, the Alma Deluxe, is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States.- Harry, in his defence, clarifies that he still supports unions and sticking to his principles because the car, which he is buying, is Alma delux and it is manufactured in the US, even though it belongs to Alma.
We can say that from Harry's clarification that Alma not only manufactures imported cars in some other countries, but it also has its manufacturing units in the US, and that is Made in the US. Also, we can say that John considered that Alma only manufactures in other countries and then imports it to the US.
Harry's method of defending his purchase of an Alma is to
(A) disown the principle he formerly held- He is not disowning, clear from the justification given by Harry
(B) show that John's argument involves a false unstated assumption- yes, from the analysis this aligns.
(C) contradict John's conclusion without challenging John's reasoning in drawing that conclusion- he does contradict John's conclusion, and by challenging his reasoning that he is no longer in support of the unions, but he clarifies that he still supports by resolving his concern about Alma
(D) point out that one of the statements John makes in support of his argument is false- Not pointing out that John's statement is false.
(E) claim that his is a special case in which the rule need not apply.- No claim that he is a special case, he is not making any exception
