But nothing is mentioned about the interest of women. So how one predict it. I think the answer should be E.

D. How can we be sure, that it is a primary interest? I mean. It is smth like essentials. Women 'destiny'. If I would start asking women whether washing and cooking their primary interest I doubt that many of them would confirm it.

Firstly the PRIMARY INTEREST no where mentioned in the statement!it is an assumption! secondly the word AVERAGE cannot be considered!

Nothing about the interests of an average woman is mentioned in the statement. So how can somebody clearly state that only condition II follows?
