I found this question challenging for all of the reasons mentioned in this post, but the more I reflect on this question, the more I think that we're actually looking for "the best of the worst" when it comes to selecting answer choices. What I mean by this is that our confidence in selecting the right answer choice come from our confidence in eliminating incorrect answer choices.
This question asks us to identify the answer choice that supports one of the two hypotheses and undermines the other. We can either prove that the beetles must rest because they can't maintain their pace and disprove that that beetles go blind and stop, or vice versa.
(A) - Incorrect - This talks about a situation outside of the pursuit. Despite this, if still try to infer based on the given information, then it potentially indicates that both hypotheses are disproved because the beetle is running and doesn't stop. Either way, this is a poor answer choice.
(B) - Correct - This suggests to me that the beetle responds to visual information i.e. doesn't go blind, and that its stops become more frequent as the chase progresses (because it gets more tired as the chase goes on). This is definitely a vague and awkward answer choice, but I'll put a question mark on it and look at the remaining answer choices.
(C) - Incorrect - This disproves both hypotheses.
(D) - Incorrect - This doesn't do much to prove/disprove either hypothesis. If anything it could suggest that the beetle gets tired as a result of the pursuit, but this still doesn't indicate that the beetle pauses during the pursuit out of tiredness.
(E) - Incorrect - This disproves neither of the two hypotheses. We still don't know why the beetle stops. Both explanations could be valid.
Hence, the answer must be B! Even if it doesn't make a huge amount of sense, we know that A, C, D and E are all definitely wrong, so B must be the correct answer.

I have a doubt with D.
Question Stem: TB can capture virtually any insect.
Option D: If, when a beetle pauses, it has not gained on the insect it is pursuing, the beetle generally ends its pursuit
TB pauses, and it paused either it is tired or to process the visual information
Say it paused because it is tired, therfore ended the pursuit
On the other hand
Say it paused because it is processing the visual information, then why would it end the pursuit? Since the question stem says that it can capture any insect.
