Struggling to pull motivation from the passage and link this to ethics.
My Answer (step 3) was linking ethics to patient satisfaction. Is it possible to maybe expand on why other answer like A can't be true?
Use your negate test!
For (A), whether or not a patient's satisfaction is relevant to treatment only tells us what the argument has already said—that the doctor may have prescribed it for satisfaction's sake—it isn't something that's been left out (so it's not an assumption), and its negation doesn't ruin our conclusion about ethics (so it's not necessary).
Love your negate test!

I have the right answer but I wanted to ask you opinion on why (C) is not correct? Is it because ethically questionable is not the same as ethically indefensible?
The big problem with (C) is that it's referencing treatments that aren't necessarily under discussion here—those that "rely on the placebo effect alone".
In this argument, we are explicitly not talking about such regimens.
This is a good example of our general wariness toward load-bearing language!
