Prof. Hernandez's monumental work The History of Central America covers everything about the region from the origin of the Mesoamerican period to the end of the Cold War. While the book has several informative maps and charts, many of the chapters spend less time describing facts and more time explaining Prof. Hernandez's theories. Indeed, the last two chapters consist exclusively of his exposition of theory of the role of Central America in post-WWII world politics. Therefore, properly speaking, this book is not a history book.
Which of the following is an assumption that supports drawing the conclusion above from the reasons given for that conclusion?
A. Some history books consist almost exclusively of catalogs of historical facts.
B. Different historians have a different understanding of the relative importance between facts and theories within the study of history.
C. Historians should be more explicit than most are now about the theoretical framework with which they write.
D. History as a discipline is concerned only with historical facts, not with the theoretical explanations of those facts.
E. Most books that present a wealth of historical facts include maps and charts as well.

Answer D
Author consludes that "many of the chapters spend less time describing facts and more time explaining Prof. Hernandez's theories,[...] therefore this book is not a history book"
To support that conclusion, we need to choose an answer that aligns with the fact that history book can not be only about theories
A. Some history books consist almost exclusively of catalogs of historical facts > Some is not a generality, not sufficient : WRONG
B. Different historians have a different understanding of the relative importance between facts and theories within the study of history. > Does not mention the composition of history book, irrelevant : WRONG
C. Historians should be more explicit than most are now about the theoretical framework with which they write. > WRONG when compared with D
D. History as a discipline is concerned only with historical facts, not with the theoretical explanations of those facts. > Defines history with only facts, not with the theoretical explanations as did Prof Hernandez: CORRECT
E. Most books that present a wealth of historical facts include maps and charts as well. > Maps and chart are not the subject here, irrelevant : WRONG

I understand why A,B,C are wrong but isn't the word 'only' putting off ?
