M: The Greek alphabet must have been invented by some individual who knew the Phoenician writing system and who wanted to have some way of recording Homeric epics and thereby preserving expressions of a highly developed tradition of oral poetry.
P: Your hypothesis is laughable! What would have been the point of such a person’s writing Homeric epics down? Surely a person who knew them well enough to write them down would not need to read them, and no one else could read them, according to your hypothesis.
Which one of the following is an argumentative strategy that P uses in responding to M?
(A) attacking M’s understanding of the literary value of oral poetry
(B) disagreeing with M’s thesis without attempting to refute it
(C) challenging M’s knowledge of the Phoenician writing system
(D) attempting to undermine M’s hypothesis by making it appear absurd
(E) providing an alternative interpretation of evidence put forward by M

I would go with D on this one.
P is kind of making a personal attack on M by completely disregarding what M's hypothesis is and making it appear absurd
