I think c does give us a way of bridging the gap but this is not a sufficient assumption question, which asks us to bridge the gap. This is a necessary assumption question, which is basically a must be true. Here the author doesn't have to believe that C is true, and in fact, I think C bridges the gap in the wrong direction, it makes the conclusion false rather than true. D does have to be true. If guided exploration were a key element of learning, then her argument would make no sense.
