(D). Choice (A) is incorrect because the passage never says that

paragraph of the passage describes numerous problems with
Homo economicus , all of which center around simplifying people’s motivations and
assuming they understand more than they actually do. Choice (E) is incorrect
because the passage never says that
Homo economicus fell out of favor or
whether the handful of critics cited is representative of “most economists.”
