D is the correct option.
Just in case an accident occurs, then the police might need to know a person's details. Suppose a person has a concussion suddenly on the road, it isn't an accident and not exactly fatal either. Still, the police have to inform his family members so they would require an ID.
So, we can't exactly say that an ID card is necessary only when the accident is fatal. That rules out option B.
The reasoning of Option C is too retarded! (I mean who'd forget his own address unless he's an amnesiac?!) Also, we can't generalize it to everyone (in a logical sense).
Similarly, we can also rule out Options A and E since they talk about specific situations. They are true, however. Not ALL the time (like I mentioned in the concussion case, the person might not necessarily have to lose blood).
Hence, the only option left is D. And trust me, it makes the most sense as well.

In my opinion also, D is the Correct Choice.
In a practical scenario, how many of us will just risk ourselves to help a stranger by rushing him to hospital and incur hefty expenses at times of emergencies. Most likely not, but if a emergency contact is there, surely one can inform them at ease and also based on their response.
One may also take him to near by hospital or assist him further as necessary. So Important information is the Phone No. than the Blood Group. To Conclude Option D is the best choice.

If the person loses consciousness and in delirium or severely injured and in no position to speak, how is he able to remember a phone number?
Option B and E are correct. Because specifically blood group is mentioned and it is required in case of emergency or accident when the person needs immediate attention. Police needs information about person too.

According to me B seems to be the appropriate answer because it logically suits the statement and all other statement forces to take some assumption before asnswering the question, which is not allowed in the question. So, the answer might be B or the question is wrong and there should be one more option i.e. none of the above.

@Ninja_Chick.
Option B says "especially" when the accident is fatal.
This doesn't rule out the fact that the info on the ID will be needed when the accident ain't fatal.
That means that even when it's not fatal, the police will still require the info on the card but then they will require it more when it is fatal.

I stand with option E, as it given in question a fatal accident. And we see quiet often that we forget simple things in normal day, but here in emergency we not even remember where we are and who we so this rules out option D, A.
Option B, C is also possible.
If any body can explain please?

If a person remembers all his information and if he can provide it to the concerned person orally at any time then what is the use of ID Card?
So I think B is the correct answer but E also OK as immediate transfusion of blood may be necessary during serious accidents.

E is correct. In the case of a serious accident, the life of a person must be saved first. So blood group is important for blood transfusion. Work of a doctor should be done first then work of a police later. So B can not be prioritised over E.

I think after serious accident (mentioned in Qu. ) first thing comes is saving the life of person. In serious accident mostly blood is the main thing needed. The address phone no can be found later so logically "E" is the best suited answer.
Lalu said:

I also believe that E is the most suitable answer. B is also right, but it is not Police alone who needs these details. Anybody who are there while the accident happen can use these details to rescue the person.
