The logic is different in A. Hows it A?
If x then y
If not y then x.
This does not match the stimulus.
Then the logic in E also must be true
If x then y, if not y then not x

The logic is different in A. Hows it A?
If x then y
If not y then x.
This does not match the stimulus.
Then the logic in E also must be true
If x then y, if not y then not x

The Logic which is utilized in the premise:
    X: Quarks are the smallest subatomic particles in the universe
    Y: Gluons are needed to hold quarks together.

    If X -----------> Then Y
      If X -----------> Y

    Cause Y -----------> Effect X
      Since Y -----------> X

(E) Whenever it rains, the streets get wet. The streets are not wet. Therefore, it has not rained.
    If Rain(X) ---------> Street wet(Y)
    Cause: Since Street NOT wet (!Y) -------> Effect: NOT rain (!X)
The logic does NOT match with the one used in the premise.

Only Option-D follows the above logic.
