Hi CJ12345:!
Answer choice (A) appears to be a data attack, which does occur on the LSAT. The data being attacked is what the consultants report.
If they used the same measurement for efficiency and time management, then by definition being good at one would mean being good at the other, as Robert notes above. In other words, given their methodology in (A), what the consultants report isn't very useful in connecting time management skills and efficiency. If that's true, it weakens the recommendation that managers should take a seminar on time management in order to improve productivity.
It doesn't seem like we know how (D) would impact the conclusion. The stimulus doesn't say anything about how many managers are or are not efficient. It's possible, for example, that no managers are efficient, or some might be, or all of them could be efficient. Knowing that would seem to be necessary in order for (D) to shape the conclusion. Since that's absent from the stimulus, however, (D) seems to have no clear effect on the conclusion.
