The question intends to test on sufficient vs necessary condition. Before we go into options, lets recap the conclusion.
Conclusion : Jack Monroe can easily find great recommendation from any college professor.
A. College baseball team members can easily get recommendations from professors.
Just because a particular member can easily get recommendation, doesn't strengthen the fact that the person will get a recommendation from any professor. Rhis option has sufficient demerits in the reasoning hence we can eliminate
B. During his final year, Jack Monroe was voted the most popular student on campus.
Can be eliminated as this option doesn't touch the conclusion
C. For students to receive a great recommendation from a college professor, the student is expected to have performed in academics as well as sports.
A classic example of sufficient vs necessary condition. This options presents us with what is necessary to get recommendation- one needs to have performed in academics as well as sport. Does that mean the person will get a recommendation ? Well, we can't comment !. There could be additional criteria (or not). So, an option that doesn't hold enough merit and we can cross this off.
D. Most other baseball team members also maintain stellar academic performance.
Can be eliminated as this option doesn't touch the conclusion. The conclusion revolves around Jack
E. Academic record and involvement in sports are the only qualifications to receive a great recommendation from a college professor.
This is correct. We know that the ONLY qualifications to receive a great recommendation from a college professor are academic record and involvement in sports. Its a sufficient condition and Jack meets the criteria. Hence this strengthens.
Option E

I am confused between C and E.
I will mark E because says 'Academic record and involvement in sports are the only qualifications to receive a great recommendation from a college professor.' It doesn't matter if the student has any other plus or minus.
If these two bare minimum criteria i.e academic record and involvement in sports are met, the student gets a LOR.
