Conclusion: Do not worry about the mole rodent.
(A) The birds of prey capture and kill every single Spotted Mole that comes above ground.
(B) Some land-based mammals active in this region, such as fox, will also hunt and eat the Spotted Mole on a regular basis.
(C) No other animal could pose as significant a threat to the above-ground fruits as could the Spotted Mole.
(D) The times of day the Spotted Mole feeds are the same as the times of day that the birds of prey are in the air. - if the feeding time did not coincide with the flight time of the birds of prey, then we can infer that the spotted mole still pose as a great threat to the farmers' crops. However, if the feeding time does coincide with the flight time of the birds of prey, then we can reasonably infer that the population of the spotted mole will be greatly diminished to the extent that would help protect the farmers' crops. Hence, (D) is the necessary to assume in order to establish the conclusion. Therefore, (D) is the right answer choice.
(E) Larger burrowing mammals, such as badgers or weasels, can dig up the burrows of the Spotted Mole, endangering those that remain underground.

I had a doubt for Option D being correct.
Options D Says "The times of day the Spotted Mole feeds are the same as the times of day that the birds of prey are in the air".
But nowhere in the passage it mentions that birds of prey need to be in air to prey on the Mole. They need not be in air, and still prey on the mole. How are we assuming that being in air means being "ACTIVE"(as mentioned in the passage).
If anybody can help

A bit shaky. The conclusion is that there is NO threat. If birds do not kill EVERY spotted mole, there is tiny bit of possibility of threat (even if there are only 7 of them) - it is not "no threat". If conclusion were "there is no significant threat..." it would have made much more sense. D, on the other hand, sounds controversial. Suppose feeding times are not the same, but nothing in the question stem indicates that moles come above the ground ONLY when it's feeding time. They might remain above ground at other times too, and birds can prey on them then. Correct me if I'm wrong..
