25. One reason why European music has had such a strong influence throughout the world, and why it is a sophisticated achievement, is that over time the original function of the music—whether ritual, dance, or worship—gradually became an aspect of its style, not its defining force. Dance music could stand independent of dance, for example, and sacred music independent of religious worship, because each composition has so much internal coherence that the music ultimately depends on nothing but itself.
The claims made above are compatible with each of the following EXCEPT:
(A) African music has had a more powerful impact on the world than European music has had.
(B) European military and economic expansionism partially explains the global influence of European music.
(C) The original functions of many types of Chinese music are no longer their defining forces.
(D) Music that is unintelligible when it is presented independently of its original function tends to be the most sophisticated music.
(E) Some works of art lose their appeal when they are presented to serve a function other than their original one.

答案是D，为什么？文中说到欧洲的音乐， Dance music could stand independent of dance, for example, and sacred music independent of religious worship, 这和D项中的
independently of its original function不是相一致的吗？为什么会不compatible呢？

我原来选的是E，因为以为serve a function other than their original one也就是independent of originals，反而lose their appeal ，所以就和原文矛盾了

哪位能解释解释，谢谢

原文中说了gradually became an aspect of its style, not its defining force
而D中说得是it is presented independently of its original function
这两个是矛盾得啊，其他选项虽然可能原文中没有说，但并不一定就是错得，只有D是明显得和原文有冲突，所以不对
