Option A :- Incorrect
This is rather a conclusive statement without a proof, it is not totally convincing because their relevance in the air-force is not enough to fully justify their patriotism.

Option B :- Incorrect
We can't assume in this situation that the statement above did not give an estimate of their population distribution in clear terms across all the military units.

Option C :- Incorrect
This statement is in alignment with the idea presented in the question and true but does not stand in the best supportive position.

Option D :- correct
All evidence clearly and vividly explain from the question that some Knoxworth graduates spread across the military.

Option E :- Incorrect
There is no fact that establish this point in the above question statement, hence it remains inadequate to provide the support in request about the argument.
