There has been a decline in the number of students opting for foreign-language exams in Britain, with a reduction in enrolment for French-language constituting the major percentage of the decline. Critics believe that the post-Brexit attitude is at work. However, studies reveal that this trend is not recent and is not just limited to Britain. A recent study shows that enrolment in foreign language courses in American universities dropped by 15% between 2012 and 2015. The most common reason cited by students was the rise of English language and the limited use of other languages. Hence, the rise of the English language and not Brexit is responsible for this decline.
In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first is a claim, the accuracy of which is at issue in the argument; the second is a conclusion drawn on the basis of that claim.
(B) The first is an objection that has been raised against a position defended in the argument; the second is that position.
(C) The first is evidence that has been used to support an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is that explanation.
(D) The first is evidence that has been used to support an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is a competing explanation that the argument favours.
(E) The first provides evidence to support an explanation that the argument favours; the second is that explanation.

(A) The first is a claim, the accuracy of which is at issue in the argument; the second is a conclusion drawn on the basis of that claim.
First is not a claim but evidence. 1 and 2 are not against each other.
(B) The first is an objection that has been raised against a position defended in the argument; the second is that position.
First is an evidence. 1 and 2 are not against each other.
(C) The first is evidence that has been used to support an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is that explanation.
The argument doesn't challenge second explanation.
(D) The first is evidence that has been used to support an explanation that the argument challenges; the second is a competing explanation that the argument favours.
(E) The first provides evidence to support an explanation that the argument favours; the second is that explanation.
Between D and E I chose D which is wrong. Need help.

Argument is over wether the decline in number of foreign students is because of Brexit or not. Critics claim it's because of Brexit which has been challenged by the evidence done through the surveys also the evidence support the claim( i.e the reason is not the Brexit)
Now lets look at what D says:
First is evidence that has been used to support an explanation(correct upto here), that the argument challenges(It's the the claim which is challenging the argument not the other way round, as argument was stated first. X lead to Y); second is a competing explanation(it's explanation alright can't say about competing) that the argument favours.
Hence wrong.
Let me know if there are some loopholes in the explanation or if its still not clear.
