D is correct.
A is incorrect because exam is not related to hard work but "pass" exam is related to hard work. The exam itself has no relation.
B is incorrect because of "all" which is misunderstood. The statement does not reference anything to "all" will pass just because they work hard. It is more of a possibility to pass if you work hard. Using "all" is irrelevant.
C & E is incorrect because one statement either mentions anxiety while the other satisfied person, which in no one has anything to do with the statement above.
What follows, D is left and logically is the best choice.

I think option B is the closest according to the given statement. Their is simply no explanation for the answer given, this only increases the confusion. I suggest they should give proper explanations to these kind of questions to help us.

If X implies Y then it is not necessary that Y implies X. This is one of the most basic rules of Verbal Reasoning. I personally think A is the correct answer as it is the best inference drawn from the given statement. B is purely subjective, as the statement does not say anything about hard workers always making it.
