Hi Dave,
When I first saw the multiple choices, I really wanted to choose B. But, Because the answer stated: "Self-sufficiency contribute to person's well-being" it didn't really say whether that contribution will increase or decrease the overall well-being (which the conclusion state it would "diminish the overall well-being"). Am I thinking too deep or am I just missing something?

Well, to contribute is to add to or to increase. So to contribute to a person's well-being means to increase her well-being.
Put it another way: if an act diminished a person's well-being, we could not accurately say that the act had contributed to her well-being; it detracted from it!
Clearer?
