P1: Most scholars agree that KA personally translated a number of Latin texts into Old English.
P2: One historian contends that Alfred also personally penned his own law code, as there are more similarities.
P2: Linguistic similarities, however, are what one expects in texts from the same language, the same time, and the same region.
p4: Apart from Alfred's surviving translation and law code, there are only two other extant works from the same dialect and milieu,
C: so it is risky to assume here that linguistic similarities point to common authorship.
The passage above proceeds by
Initially Passage presents some assumption by 1 Scholar, and another assumption by another Scholar, and then question the assumption that because they seems similar doesn't means that the both write by same author
(A) Providing examples that underscore another argument's conclusion.
(not providing any example, plus author is not supporting the argument), Rejected
(B) questioning the plausibility of an assumption on which another argument depends.
(yes he is questioning the validation of the assumption made by both the scholars), Answer
(c) showing that a principle if generally applied would have anomalous consequences.
(not talking about any general principle), Rejected
(D) showing that the premises of another argument are mutually inconsistent.
(it is not contradicting the arguments), Rejected
(E) using argument by analogy to undermine a principle implicit in another argument.
(not taking any analogy) Rejected

It is crucial that you don't forget to underscore some important words that might help in selecting the right choice
Argument 1
Conclusion - One historian contends that Alfred also personally penned his own law code
Premise 1 - Most scholars agree that King Alfred (A.D 849 - 899) personally translated a number of Latin texts into Old English.
Premise 2 - Numerous differences between the language of the law code and Alfred's translation of Latin texts are outweighed by the even more numerous similarities
Argument 2
Conclusion - So it is risky to assume here that linguistic similarities point to common authorship.
(These three words are very helpful to avoid unnecessary options -
a)Risky - sort of warning hey it is risky. But no consequences are pointed that If you attribute linguistic similarities to common authorship then x,y,z will happen. Just a warning that hey maybe there are other possibilities present.
b) Assume - That means there is unstated premise/assumption in previous argument. What is it ? It is that IF similarities outweigh differences then there maybe common authorship.
c)Here - we are speaking of the this case nothing in general)
Premise 1 - Linguistic similarities, however, are what one expects in texts from the same language, the same time, and the same region.
Premise 2 - Apart from Alfred's surviving translation and law code, there are only two other extant works from the same dialect and milieu
