The question asks what can be properly inferred in support of the conclusion:

A and B can't be inferred from the conclusion - Incorrect
C: This could be an obvious inference since the conclusion states that Jimmy's OTHER family members have received flawed music training. The conclusion doesn't address Jimmy's training. If jimmy doesn't feel the same way as his other family members that means there's a difference in the training he received from the rest - CORRECT
D and E: Yes, these could be good inferences too. Although if you observe there's ALWAYS (usage of extreme words) which basically claims that these inferences are UNIVERSALLY TRUE derived from the premises. You don't necessarily have to "not" appreciate the guitar just because you received flawed music training - INCORRECT

Hence the answer is C.

Please let me know if I missed considering any additional points.


C+1. Since Jimmy and his other family members feel the same about the sound of guitar, but the conclusion only says his other family members’ training is flawed, and never says Jimmy’s training is flawed, so their training should be different.
While in D and E, the word ALWAYS is not necessarily true, since we donot know whether they have the same feel each time if they listen to guitar sounds many times.

The sound of guitar feels less enchanting to Jimmy than the sound of any other type of string instrument. While all members of Jimmy’s family are trained in music, none of his family members feels significant charm for guitars. Mr Briggs, who is considered the local authority on string instruments, believes that guitar is one of the central pieces of contemporary music and its sound is sweeter than that of most other string instruments. Hence, the music training received by Jimmy’s other family members must be flawed.

From the information presented in support of the conclusion, it can be properly inferred that

(A) none of Jimmy’s family members have a thorough knowledge of music
(B) Jimmy prefers listening to guitar than listening to any non-string instrument
(C) the training in music received by Jimmy is not the same as that received by his other family members
(D) flawed music training always leads to the lack of appreciation for guitar
(E) unflawed music training always leads to an appreciation for guitar
