One of the main points of the passage is that adults are not infallible in their access to their own thoughts.

Early in the passage, the author challenges this idea of infallibility (lines 5-6). The experiment uses children, but the results apply to people in general. The study used children because they are not as able to make quick inferences, making their inferences easier to recognize. This is best expressed by D.
