It is true that Washington Mudskippers shortstop Jason hit three home runs in a game last week. However, over the course of the Little League season, Jason has struck out in more than half of his at bats, and no player who strikes out that often is truly a great baseball player. Only truly great players deserve to be chosen for the Little League All-Star team, so none of the Mudskippers players deserve to be selected as All-Stars this year.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

(A) Most of the Mudskippers players are truly terrible baseball players
(B) The entire Mudskippers team is currently embroiled in a major cheating scandal.
(C) The other players on Jason’s team are even less likely to be named to the All-Star team this year than is Jason himself.
(D) Jason is the best player on his baseball team.
(E) The other Mudskippers players will refuse to play for the All-Star team unless Jason is selected.

Premise: No player who strikes out more than half of his runs at-bat often is truly a great baseball player.

Conclusion: Only truly great players deserve to be chosen for the Little League All-Star team, so none of the Mudskippers players deserve to be selected as All-Stars this year.

Let's find the option that is most fit to strengthen this argument.

Option A - Incorrect:
This answer choice is too general in rating all Mudskippers players are terrible baseball players. The fact, that they don't deserve to be chosen for the Little League All-Star team this year does not mean that are terrible.

Option B - Incorrect:
This is wrong and irrelevant to the information portrayed in the passage.

Option C - Incorrect:
This answer choice contradicts the passage conclusion that says "none of the Mudskippers players deserve to be selected as All-Stars this year." So, therefore, it doesn't strengthen this argument.

Option D - Correct:
This claim strongly supports Washington Mudskippers Team's aim of presenting Jason as their top-rated shortstop as portrayed in the passage. Thus, this answer choice strengthens the argument the most.

Option E - Incorrect:
This answer choice doesn't provide much direct relevant information to the passage. We know from the passage that "none of the Mudskippers players deserve to be selected as All-Stars this year," but we are not sure if Mudskippers players will be even considered not to talk of them deciding if they will play or not.
