between A and D, the answer should be D because here, the author gives out reasons to prove the conclusion.

Hi abhimahna , GMATNinja,
Can you please clarify where i went wrong.
I chose C for 1 main reason.
Politician: party A claims its only donating for cause. YET CLEARLY, party B has done something.
+ Provided some support for his statement that party B has done something.
I rephrased the conclusion: Party A is NOT the only party donating.
So i have speculated bold face as : support for the conclusion.

Can you please tell me where i went wrong.

Hey Nightmare007 ,

I think you have not understood the argument clearly.

Politician said "The Green Party is saying they are the only one doing something" but then he said no, it is not like that. We have another party also doing that thing. Infact, alot more than the green party. Then he presented some examples for that.

So, Politicians main point is We have another party who is doing more than Green Party. Hence, it is the conclusion of the author.

Remember, author has used the word "Clearly", which tells us that the author is concluding something.

Does that make sense?

The Green Party proclaims itself the only party in the country that favors a policy of developing domestic renewable energy(Background Informatin)
Yet clearly, the Liberal Party has done much more to advance this cause.(Conclusion)
Not only does it actively oppose tax cuts and incentives to oil companies, but it also generously donates to such projects as local wind farms and "clean coal" programs.(Premise)

Statement after that gives reason for conclusion.
