Complete the argument

Which of the flowing most logically completes the argument?

The attribution of the choral work Lacrimae to the composer Pescard (1400 - 1474) has been regarded as tentative, since it was based on a single treatise from the early 1500's that named Pescard as the composer. Recently, several musical treatises from the late 1500's have come to light, all of which name Pescard as the composer of Lacrimae. Unfortunately, these newly discovered treatises lend no support to the attribution of Lacrimae to Pescard, since _______.

A. the treatise from the early 1500's misidentifies the composers of some of the musical works it considers
B. the author of the treatise from the early 1500's had no very strong evidence on which to base the identification of Pescard as the composer of Lacrimae
C. there are works that can conclusively be attributed to Pescard that are not even mentioned in the treatise from the early 1500's
D. the later treatises probably had no source for their attribution other than the earlier treatise
E. no known treatises from the 1600's identify Pescard as the composer of Lacrimae
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

In my opinion the correct answer is D because the argument states that, because it is based on only a single treatise, we cannot attribute the choral work Lacrimae to Pescard. Then it states that there are newly discovered treatise that name Pescard as the composer. So how could we discredit these new findings? If they are based on the old one (which we already refuted).
A useful website I found that has every quant OG video explanation:

I was stuck between A and D , but finally went on with D .

By POE it comes down to D since A talks only about the earlier treaties and not why the latest treaties discredit Pescard as the composer .

Please let me know if my thought process is on the right track :)
