I get why D is correct now. But what does Answer choice E even mean??
I picked E because I wasn't entirely convinced on D, and I knew A-C was wrong. Thing is, I don't really even know what E means. What is an example of a flaw where something is too heavily qualified? Thx!

Good job narrowing down the options here! Answer choice E states that the reasoning is flawed because it "states its conclusion in a heavily qualified way." This refers to a conclusion which has conditions added to it, or which is stated with some reservations. Here are some examples:
(1) I agree to go to dinner, but only if we eat at this one restaurant.
(2) She likes hamburgers, but only from grass-fed cows and with cheese.
The conclusion here is not heavily qualified such that it is a flaw in the reasoning. It states that "if these results can be repeated, there will be a way of giving access to those people who are entitled to it and no one else." The "if these results can be repeated" is technically a qualification on the conclusion. However, it is not a flaw in the logic as something being qualified is not necessarily a flaw. Here, it is just representative of the speaker being cautious.
