Scholars believe that sequence dating, a process that used to measure the relative age difference between different periods, can be used to accurately date the age of an archaeological site. Using sequence dating, several notable archaeologists concluded that several pots recently found at a certain site in Egypt indicate that the site must have been pre-dynastic.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the archaeologist’s conclusion above?
(A) Some of the pots appear to have been placed at the site well after the period in which they were made.
(B) The style of pot found was made over the course of many centuries, well into the dynastic, and post-dynastic period.
(C) Very few other archaeologists have stated that they agree with the conclusion that these pots prove the site was pre-dynastic.
(D) The pots have a particular handle that was only on pots made over a period of 50-150 years.
(E) Pots found at a nearby site have been proven to be from a completely different period.

I find D a more apt choice.
As B says that the style was consistent over many centuries, into the dynast centuries, it does not prove that pots were not after pre-dynast. They may very well be made in the pre-dynast period.

(A) Some of the pots appear to have been placed at the site well after the period in which they were made.
I chose this as the answer but can now see that "some" of the pots can't make us disagree with the fact that "several" pots found at that site indicate that the site must be pre-dynastic
(B) The style of pot found was made over the course of many centuries, well into the dynastic, and post-dynastic period.
style of which pot? are we talking about any specific pot here?
although the fact that the pot was made over the course of many centuries (dynastic and post-dynastic periods) does indicate that this pot was made in the pre-dynastic period but does not say anything about the period of the site. we know that the pot was pre-dynastic but can't say anything about the site.
(C) Very few other archaeologists have stated that they agree with the conclusion that these pots prove the site was pre-dynastic.
This does not weaken the conclusion as the other archaeologists agree with the conclusion.
(D) The pots have a particular handle that was only on pots made over a period of 50-150 years.
I believe this is wrong as we don't know whether this 50-150 years range belongs to the pre-dynastic era range or not.
(E) Pots found at a nearby site have been proven to be from a completely different period.
Does not say anything about this site, and talks about the nearby site (irrelevant).

Can't figure out the right answer, please help.
If I have to choose one, will choose B as it is best of all
