E, It's supporting both the assertions. i.e. It's agreeing with choi's statement as a future possibiity and hart's statement is also agreed by saying that he agrees with Choi.

E it is ,

choi never said that children of parents who doesn't hold doctrorate degree will get doctorates , he is saying that most of the children whose parents are doctorates are likely to do their doctoral program .

Lot many children got doctorates even though their parents are not doctorates this is true.

I think its B because we are supposed to find a line of reasoning which will establish both Choi's and Hart's point of view.

Choi says that 'other factors being equal, children whose parents have a doctorate degree are more likely to earn a doctorate degree. What if the other factors are not equal?? And mostly, other factors will never be equal. Hence, Choi agrees to some extent that parental factor is not the most important factor.

Hart directly concurs with this statemnt by providing that more than 70% people who obtain a doctoral degree do not have parents who have a doctorate degree...

Please correct me if im wrong.

Only when ‘B’ is true, both Choi’s and Hart’s statements will be true.

I think if one starts of from Hart’s statement it will be a lot easier.

Hart – Over 70% of doctorate holders do not have a parent that holds a doctorate.
‘B’ can be deducted from this.

Choi – Children whose parents earned doctorates are more likely to earn a doctorate than children whose parents did not earn a doctorate.
This statement taken along with Hart’s statement will be true only if ‘B’ is assumed.
