IMO is D
The passage is concluding that lesser students take private jobs in 1985 as compared to 1970.
The statement negating the conclusion / casting most doubt in regard of passage is;
A) Private industry is making greater efforts so that graduates can take up their jobs. The statement is supporting passage as its showing that the private sector needs graduate because they are not indulging with private sector as much as before. ( Incorrect)
B. There is no role in salary. Moreover if salary is higher in private sector people would have taken job in private sector but its opposed. (Incorrect)
C. Nothing is mentioned regarding Non Profit Organization (Incorrect)
D. Its stating that the no. Of graduates have fallen to the half. Could be the reason graduated students are not been able to join private sector. (Better Choice)
E. Its supporting the passage stating that the students have taken government job that's why they didn't took private jobs. (Again Incorrect).
