It is illegal to advertise prescription medications in Hedland except directly to physicians, either by mail or in medical journals. A proposed law would allow general advertising of prescription medications. Opponents object that the general population lacks the specialized knowledge to evaluate such advertisements and might ask their physicians for inappropriate medications. But since physicians have the final say as to whether to prescribe a medication for a patient, inappropriate prescriptions would not become more common.

Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the argument?

(A) Whether advertising for prescription medications might alert patients to the existence of effective treatments for minor ailments that they had previously thought to be untreatable
(B) Whether some people might go to a physician for no reason other than to ask for a particular medication they have seen advertised
(C) Whether the proposed law requires prescription-medication advertisements directed to the general public to provide the same information as do advertisements directed to physicians
(D) Whether advertisements for prescription medications are currently an important source of information about newly available medications for physicians
(E) Whether physicians would give in to a patient's demand for a prescription medication chosen by the patient when the one originally prescribed by the physician fails to perform as desired

This question is similar to OG question. Only certain words are changed.

here goes the explanation:
Only if doctors give subscriptions to patients on the patients asking would this argument fail. If doctors reserve the final say, than argument is strengtned.

hence, E

(E) Whether physicians would give in to a patient's demand for a prescription medication chosen by the patient when the one originally prescribed by the physician fails to perform as desired
It's E for this reason, our final conclusion states that the frequency of inappropriate prescriptions would not be more common. The statement is mentioning that even though advertisements may become public, they wouldn't matter because the physician has the final say. However, in E, you get a statement saying that once the doctor's prescription goes wrong, he/she may be going into providing a prescription based on the patient's request. This is the only statement that offers a possibility that the patient's opinion can influence prescription, which would ultimately influence a higher frequency in inappropriate prescription.

with in the concl, please note the part in bold

E says, when prescriptions don't work, then doctors give into: the prescription is rather appropriate here
vs
In case of B, it is clear that if the Doctor provide the prescription the patient had asked for, it is inappropriate

Look at the the statement prior:

Opponents object that the general population lacks the specialized knowledge to evaluate such advertisements and might ask their physicians for inappropriate medications.

The statement after, the one you had quoted, provides a means that this it is okay to advertise even if the patients see something that they are interested in. It wouldn't matter if the patient asked, the doctor would still not prescribe this. E states that in the event of something not working correctly, then the doctor would make a choice to provide something that the patient asks for.
