Hi,
I'm not sure if my approach is right but this is how I came upon D as the answer.
There are two cases wherein Ned won't be wearing his sunglasses i.e either the sun isn't shining outside or he is indoors. Now we're only told that Ned isn't wearing his sunglasses. Hence we need to make room for both the possibilities that either he is indoors or the sun isn't shining outside. Choice C doesn't take into consideration the fact that the sun might be shining outside and Ned is indoors. Hence i went with option D.
Hope this makes sense. Would request carcass , GMATNinjaTwo , GMATNinja to weigh in and correct me if I'm mistaken.
Cheers!
