(D) says, "Some people think that economists can control inflation. Can meteorologists make the sun shine?"
(D)'s analogy is extremely similar to the one that's in the stimulus. (D)'s analogy makes a comparison between two very different things and uses a second claim about people controlling certain elements of the weather to make it seem like the inital claim is a terrible one. In the stimulus, we also see an analogy comparing two different things. and the second claim of the stimulus is incorporated to make the original claim look really bad. Thus, (D) is the correct answer choice.
Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!

Dear Ravi,
a quick question, what type of reasoning is this question ? is this some kind of disputation flaws- "red herring" may be because I thought it would make it easier to analyze and choose answer choice. thanks.
