It is true of both men and women that those who marry as young adults live longer than those who never marry. This does not show that marriage causes people to live longer, since, as compared with other people of the same age, young adults who are about to get married have fewer of the unhealthy habits that can cause a person to have a shorter life, most notably smoking and immoderate drinking of alcohol.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?E
A.Marriage tends to cause people to engage less regularly in sports that involve risk of bodily harm.
B.A married person who has an unhealthy habit is more likely to give up that habit than a person with the same habit who is unmarried.
C.A person who smokes is much more likely than a nonsmoker to marry a person who smokes at the time of marriage, and the same is true for people who drink alcohol immoderately.
D.Among people who marry as young adults, most of those who give up an unhealthy habit after marriage do not resume the habit later in life.
E.Among people who as young adults neither drink alcohol immoderately nor smoke, those who never marry live as long as those who marry.
The argument of this passage is that "Getting marry is not the main reason why married people can live longer, it is because their good habits, not really because of marriage "E项就是说对于那些年轻时习惯好的人,结不结婚活的都一样长。从D项就不知道到底是marriage还是habit的作用重要了,从D只能得到有可能是habit,但也可能是marriage(因为说的是marriage后才give up)的结论。对比之下,E更好。 但是还有个关于D不选的解释:Here the sentence is people who marry as young adult. But in the premises it is " young adults who are about to get married".这个和上面的解释哪个比较对?
