We want a principle that underlies these facts:
People complain about the speed of technology, but we would not choose to live without it.
(A) offers a principle that explains the stimulus. Correct.
(B) brings in new information about how big of a role technology plays in people's lives.
(C) takes the stimulus too far. It does not say that the more people complain, the more dependent they are on technology.
(D) Complaints are more reliable than our choices? The stimulus doesn't say anything about that.
(E) like (C), introduces a "spectrum" issue that isn't in the stimulus. The less we do X, the less we do Y--that isn't a part of our stimulus. Our stimulus is simply a list of facts that occur concurrently. It doesn't introduce any kind of proportional relationship between complaining and using technology.
