Physician: There were approximately 83,400 trampoline-related injuries last year. This suggests that trampolines are quite dangerous and should therefore be used only under professional supervision.
Trampoline enthusiast: I disagree. In the past ten years sales of home trampolines have increased much more than trampoline-related injuries have: 260 percent in sales compared with 154 percent in injuries. Every exercise activity carries risks, even when carried out under professional supervision.
The dialogue provides the most support for the claim that the physician and the trampoline enthusiast disagree over whether
(A) trampolines cause injuries to a significant number of people using them
(B) home trampolines are the main source of trampoline-related injuries
(C) the rate of trampoline-related injuries, in terms of the number of injuries per trampoline user, is declining
(D) professional supervision of trampoline use tends to reduce the number of trampoline-related injuries
(E) trampoline use is an activity that warrants mandatory professional supervision
Trampoline enthusiast: I disagree. In the past ten years sales of home trampolines have increased much more than trampoline-related injuries have: 260 percent in sales compared with 154 percent in injuries. Every exercise activity carries risks, even when carried out under professional supervision.

The stem asks us the point on which the physician and the enthusiast disagree.
A is wrong because the enthusiast doesn't deny the significant number of injuries
B can be eliminated for clearly because "home trampolines" and the injuries caused by them isn't a topic being debated by both our participants. Only the enthusiast brings it up.
C is wrong because nowhere is the mention of declining injuries per user
D is a tempting choice. Considering the fact that both the participants discuss professional supervision one might be tricked into selecting this option. However the Physician does not explicitly say that this will reduce injuries
E is the clear winner in my humble opinion , since one side says professional supervision is necessary while the other points out that injuries will occur nonetheless.
Waiting for OA.
