A study of 200 comedy fiction readers revealed the impact of Wodehouse’s’ novels on human emotions. Each of the 200 participants was asked to read at least one novel per day over the course of 12 days. At the end of the experiment, all of the readers filled out a survey assessing their emotional state. It was found from the survey that some 10 students who read the greatest number of novels reported lower stress levels and higher energy levels. Also, most of the 20 students who read the fewest number of novels revealed below-average levels of emotional comfort.
Which of the following must be true based on the evidence presented above?
A: A majority of the participants lowered stress levels and reported higher emotional ease.
B: During each week of the experiment, the participants spent at least 2 hours less per day on their academic work as a result of reading.
C: Reading Wodehouse’s novels for at least 2 hours per day improves the emotional well-being of the majority of young adults.
D: More than 8 participants read at least 14 novels during the course of the experiment.
E: At least some of the students participated in the study in order to gain free access to Wodehouse’s novels.
Verbal Diagnostic Test No : 6 – CR Q No: 8

Verbal Diagnostic Test No : 6 – CR Q No: 8
OA: D
OE:
A: There is no such information in the stimulus
B: There is no mention that they read during their academic hours. They could have done so in their leisure hours.
C: We cannot generalize for the group of young adults entirely based on a sample experiment 200 people
D: Correct Answer. The least read was 12, the maximum 14 and the others 170 read 13 novels. So we can safely conclude that more than 8 people say 9 or 10 read at least 14 novels.
E: Irrelevant

A: A majority of the participants lowered stress levels and reported higher emotional ease.
No specific mention of the word "majority," key word to test.
B: During each week of the experiment, the participants spent at least 2 hours less per day on their academic work as a result of reading.
"At least two hours" has no specific mention.
C: Reading Wodehouse’s novels for at least 2 hours per day improves the emotional well-being of the majority of young adults.
"Majority" and "young adults" are key words to test. No mention in stimulus.
D: More than 8 participants read at least 14 novels during the course of the experiment.
20 students have the lowest scores and 10 students have the highest scores, thus 170 students must have read more than 12 books and fewer than 14 books. Therefore, the highest scorers (8,9,10) must have read at least 14 books.
E: At least some of the students participated in the study in order to gain free access to Wodehouse’s novels.
Intention of reading is nowhere mentioned in the stimulus.

I marked D because the other options are completely absurd. But, I don't know how is D correct? Where did 14 come from?
