PT119 · S2 · Q8 The laboratory experiment, the most

This is better than nothing, because it allows us to defend the use of computers in secondary schools, but this author wasn't saying, "I don't think secondary schools should be using computers!" She was saying, "I don't think students should do experiments on the computer rather than in the lab." She would probably agree that the teachers, at a minimum, should still have access to computers in order to keep tabs on scientific knowledge. Her concern is about how students conduct experiments.

This is incredibly weak (some = at least one). You very seldom see correct answers on Strengthen / Weaken / Paradox that only have the impact of "at least one" (some, sometimes, may, can, could, not all, etc.) The author is saying a trend should be stopped. She wasn't saying that every single school has already abandoned lab experiments, so it doesn't conflict with anything she's saying for us to say, "oh, author, some schools still have teachers conducting experiments".

Much like (A), although this is better than (A), this feels decent. It allows us to defend the value of using computers in the science classroom. However, we were told that the lab experiment is the most effective method, so even if we say, "computers are valuable", the author can counter with, "yes, but lab experiments are more valuable". More importantly, this answer is about learning science terminology, whereas the author is concerned with lab experiments and with using lab equipment.

This would potentially allow us to argue, "Hey, author --- this trend should not be stopped, because schools have put a lot of money into buying computers!" Similar to (A), but even worse since this doesn't limit itself to science, this is too broadly about computers. The author wasn't arguing that we shouldn't have computers or that computers are evil / lame. She was just specifically saying, "No, don't replace lab experiments with computer experiments."
