At ~1:52 you say that answer choice "C" does not compare quantity and quality (time vs. thoroughness) but answer choice "D" does...end of line 3 of choice "C" through the end of same sentence says just that.
"...not how much time a student puts into studying, but rather how thoroughly the student studies."
Not that "C" is correct, just that it's more similar than the explanation
(since the original assertion was "A [All] species can survive change..." and "D" has "[All] People do not fear change..." )

Yeah.
I pretty much said the opposite of what is actually happening:
In our argument and in (D), the whole structure is to say that what matters is not the fact of the thing's existence, but instead what's important is an attribute of the thing (i.e., in both instances, it's not the change itself, but the rate of—or knowledge of—the change).
For (C) to be parallel, it should say "It's not whether one studies, but how thoroughly one studies..."
So we see that one major problem with (C) is that it says instead "...it's not this attribute (the amount of time) that matters, it's that attribute (the thoroughness)."
That comparison of attributes is the comparison that was missing both in our argument and in (D).
So I was saying it very neatly backwards, even though I had the whole text right there in front of me.
Maybe I should lay off the crack pipe?

Maybe.
But you're the boss. Do what you want.
Thanks for the clarification.
