Ingrid is trying to prove that the most durable rock songs are those of the 1940s since these songs continue to be recorded by numerous performers.

So, Ingrid's standard for most durable rock songs are those that are continually recorded by different performers.

Jerome responds by explaining that even though it is true that rock songs are usually recorded only once, if the original recording continues to be popular, then that it a reason to consider it to be durable.

As you can see, Jerome explains that he has a different criteria for considering rock songs durable: whether the original recording continues to be popular.

So, Jerome and Ingrid have different standards for deciding whether a rock song is durable.

Therefore, answer choice (D) is our correct answer: Jerome responds to Ingrid's claim by suggesting an alternative standard for judging the point at issue.

If you have any specific questions on the other answer choices, feel free to clarify.
