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.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
