Questions about D

If the conclusion would have stated, "Therefore, our country should not sign the agreement nor others" could the answer have been D then? Im assuming what makes D incorrect is the conclusion, as it solely focuses on their own country. D. When deciding whether to sign an agreement, a country should consider the agreement's effects on other countries' economies as well as on its own economy.

That's a good question, and I'm inclined to say that if the conclusion were what you said it might lead one to D, but I still think it would be missing something. The conclusion is that we shouldn't do something. In order to say what we should or should not do, we need a premise establishing Whalen one should or should not take that course of action. D still fails to do that. It only tells us what the considerations are, but not what we should or should not do something.
