The proportion of fat calories in the diets of people who read the nutrition labels on food products is significantly lower than it is in the diets of people who do not read nutrition labels. This shows that reading these labels promotes healthful dietary behavior.
The reasoning in the argument above is flawed in that the argument
(A) illicitly infers a cause from a correlation
(B) relies on a sample that is unlikely to be representative of the group as a whole
(C) confuses a condition that is necessary for a phenomenon to occur with a condition that is sufficient for that phenomenon to occur
(D) takes for granted that there are only two possible alternative explanations of a phenomenon
(E) draws a conclusion about the intentions of a group of people based solely on data about the consequences of their behavior

People who read labels (cause) --> Lower calories in food (effect)
People who don't read labels --> Higher calories in food
Conclusion: Reading labels (cause) --> healthful dietary behavior (effect)
The cause used in the argument is just a correlation. Maybe people read labels because they are already aware and want to get food items that have less calories.
A. is the answer
B C D don't really add up.
E's complicated language makes it seem right but if you read it carefully you will realize that the argument is not really making a conclusion about the intentions of a group of people. I is simply stating that reading the label makes your dietary behavior healthier.

This is good meat, B,C and D can be easily eliminated. So I will talk only about why E is not the right answer.
The argument says that the diet of people who read nutrition labels has less fat content than the diet of people who do not read the nutrition labels, and from here our beloved author made a leap of faith concluding that reading labels promotes healthy dietary habits. Now let's look at option E
draws a conclusion about the intentions of a group of people based solely on data about the consequences of their behavior
The consequence of behavior is indeed eating food with low-fat content, but the conclusion which the author made was not about the intentions of the people who read those labels, had the author concluded something on the lines that 'thus people who read nutrition label indicates that they want to make healthier eating choices'
