The first sentence of the passage says that no one with a serious medical problem would rely on the average person to prescribe treatment.
The implication is that the knowledge had by an average person is NOT SUFFICIENT for the purposes of prescribing treatment.
The correct answer will the the one that says something similar to what that first sentence says.
Now, let's consider choice (E).
(E) one is a good public servant if one is more knowledgeable about the public good than is the average person
This is not similar to what the passage says. (E) indicates that a certain level of knowledge IS SUFFICIENT to make someone a good public servant.
Contrast (E) with (D).
(D) public servants should base decisions on something other than the average person’s recommendations
The implication of (D) is that that the average person's recommendations are NOT SUFFICIENT bases for decisions.
So, what (D) says is similar to what the first sentence of the passage says.
The correct answer is (D).
