Between A & D
I would go for A as it weakens the conclusion
i.e( This is encouraging evidence that the program instituted two years ago to improve the morale of high school students has begun to take effect to reduce dropouts. )
D actually strengthens the argument by providing evidence that some program has encouraged students to stay.
This is my reasoning, I'm not sure of the answer,
Please explain if wrong

I understand that D says that because of placements provided the college dropouts are less but the argument says college dropouts are less because of some morale boost program hence D is correct option. Option A states that dropout is less because there is lot of unemployment, if it is true then whatever program you conduct or donot conduct students will not dropout and Option A is not negating the argument but option D is providing an alternate cause.
