Understanding the argument -
A group of experimental subjects participated in an "intermittent fasting" study, under which they ate all of their food for the day within six hours of waking up. - Fact
The subjects consumed the same number of calories as they normally did throughout an entire day and did not change their exercise patterns. - Fact
Nearly all of the subjects lost a significant amount of weight during the study. - Fact
It can thus be concluded that eating all of one's food within a relatively short period of time causes the body to burn more calories. - Conclusion. Eating one's food in a short period of time CAUSES the body to burn more calories. X causes Y. Whenever we have a correlation concerted to the causation. We need to check if Y did not cause X and Z did not cause X and Y.
Option Elimination -
A. Are people more likely to consume low-calorie foods early in the day than at night? - When people consume more calories, it is not related to the argument.
