Choice D is the best answer. The fifth paragraph of the passage addresses the "statistical strength" of certain scientific findings. In this context, "strength" most nearly means significance, or importance.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because in the context of the statistical importance of scientific findings, "strength" most nearly means significance, not attribution (choice A), exertion (choice B), or toughness (choice C).
