Many intellectuals feel that strong copyright and patent laws are necessary to encourage and nurture creativity. Many argue that competitors are free to steal ideas, create knockoffs, and drain profits from innovators when such protections are not in place. Yet these people fail to consider that a number of major industries such as fashion, cuisine, open-source software, finance, font design, stand-up comedy, and more, thrive, compete, and innovate without much legal protection for intellectual property. As a matter of fact, in most of these industries, copying and blatant imitation is widespread. In fact, this imitation sets trends, propels people, and boosts the economy. The fashion industry is the best representative of the idea that imitation encourages innovation and creativity.
In the author’s argument, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first is a claim that has been used to support a conclusion that the argument accepts; the second is that conclusion.
(B) The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion for which the argument provides further evidence; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
(C) The first is a finding whose implications are at issue in the argument; the second is a claim presented in order to argue against deriving certain implications from that finding.
(D) The first is a claim that the argument strongly disputes; the second is evidence put forth to establish the contradictory conclusion that the argument proposes.
(E) The first is a finding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument; the second is evidence presented to establish that the finding is accurate

In the text, the first portion in boldface presents an idea felt by many intellectuals. Yet as we read, there are many examples that contradicts that first portion, and the final sentence shares a final example that goes agains the forst sentence. There we need to look for answer choices where both portions are opposed
(A) The first is a claim that has been used to support a conclusion that the argument accepts; the second is that conclusion > "support a conclusion", "conclusion" imply that both portions go in the same direction, yet we read the contrary : WRONG
(B) The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion for which the argument provides further evidence; the second is the main conclusion of the argument > "provides further evidence" is wrong since the evidences show the contrary : WRONG
(C) The first is a finding whose implications are at issue in the argument; the second is a claim presented in order to argue against deriving certain implications from that finding > eliminated when seeing that D aligns with our reading : WRONG
(D) The first is a claim that the argument strongly disputes; the second is evidence put forth to establish the contradictory conclusion that the argument proposes > aligned with our first reading : CORRECT
(E) The first is a finding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument; the second is evidence presented to establish that the finding is accurate > "finding is accurate" no, on the contrary our reading showed that the portions were opposed : WRONG
