All college students read either literary classics or current bestsell

Question

All college students read either literary classics or current bestselling books as a habit, but some avid readers of current best-selling books do not read literary classics as a habit because they do not appreciate these books. People who enjoy classical music do not find current best-selling books interesting, and therefore do not read them as a habit. Since Javier is a college student who enjoys classical music, he must appreciate literary classics.

Which of the following must be true for the conclusion drawn above to be logically correct?

(A) Literary classics are more interesting than current best-selling books.

(B) All college students who appreciate literary classics read them as a habit.

(C) Literary classics are more interesting than classical music.

(D) All avid readers of literary classics appreciate this type of book.

(E) All college students who find classical music enjoyable also read current best-selling books as a habit.

1) All college students read either literary classics or current bestselling books as a habit (not both)
2) avid readers of current best-selling books do not read literary classics as a habit 
3) People who enjoy classical music do not find current best-selling books interesting.

I feel something about the option D is off.
The 'type' of book referred to is ambiguous to me.

The reply above me states that the conclusion is about Javier while I think it is about "therefore do not read them as a habit."

Please tell me where n how I'm wrong?
