why not b? (Question: 270109.0 )

In the explanation you have given clearing a misconception but why the answer is C not b?

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.


Hydrogeology is a science dealing with the properties, distribution, and circulation of water on the surface of the land, in the soil and underlying rocks, and in the atmosphere. The hydrologic cycle, a major topic in this science, is the complete cycle of phenomena through which water passes, beginning as atmospheric water vapor, passing into liquid and solid form as precipitation, thence along and into the ground surface, and finally again returning to the form of atmospheric water vapor by means of evaporation and transpiration.

The term “geohydrology” is sometimes erroneously used as a synonym for “hydrogeology.” Geohydrology is concerned with underground water. There are many formations that contain water but are not part of the hydrologic cycle because of geologic changes that have isolated them underground. These systems are properly termed geohydrologic but not hydrogeologic. Only when a system possesses natural or artificial boundaries that associate the water within it with the hydrologic cycle may the entire system properly be termed hydrogeologic.

The author’s primary purpose is most probably to:

Options:
A) Present a hypothesis
B) Refute an argument
C) Correct a misconception 
D) Predict an occurrence
Solution:
Ex: The author first defines the term ‘hydrogeology’. He then focuses on the erroneous use of ‘geohydrology’ and explains the difference between the two. As a result, clearing the misconception related to the usage of the two words. (b) is correct option.
