@Meredith,

(C) is incorrect because the TV show host never responds to the point that the shows influence people's conception of what is the norm, but he does directly address the point that "TV shows are contributing to the moral decline" by arguing that "If there is such a decline, it is not because of TV shows.." as (D) correctly points out. Thus, we can conclude that the two speakers disagree about whether the TV shows are a cause of moral decline.
